MFMORARDUM FORs Deouty Director of Central Intelligence
“ous Bet ; Crusade for Freedom and National Infomation Bureau

1. On January 10th I called your attention to the fact that
the Natlonal Infomation Pureau, a reputable investigation agency
which condvets inquiries {nto ciaritatle organizations and advises
large donors, had given an adverse recomacndation on the Crusade
-for Freedom (see Attachnent 1). Tals catier has now risen again.
It may be that £t wuld be ulse to undertake a high-level approach
to the Bureau throug: yourself or General Smith, for tho following

Teasons .

fye,

According to an asreamont with us and with the State
Department at our recent mcetings, Crusade for Freedom will bank
heavily this yoar on donations fron corporations. They rave now
discovered that these corporations rcly to a vreat extent on the
National Information Durcauts acvice. Several corporations have
indicated thu:, according to their practice, they cannot give to
the Crusade unless it has the tlessing of the Eureau, and you will
note in Attachment 2 that one vuca corporation <- Barnes Nanufactur-
ing Company of Mansfield, 9hio = has written to the Crusade citing

its doubt.

2. Meantime, members of the Crusade nave mac conversations
with PD. raul Heed, Fxecutive Director of tne National Information
Bureau (see Attachment 3) and he as insisted that ae cannot report
that the Crusade 1a3 cat the basic standards in pailanthropy until
hig Standards 7 and ® are met. Tuese are the suilication of an
annual aucit and of a dctatied annual budget, the prime rejuircoment
being the disclosure of totals.

3. You nay want to read tls Attachment 3 with care but I
cannot myself see any manner in waic? we can meet these standards.
Tierafore, I believe that it may be necessary to make the ap-roach
to the National [Infomation Kurean descrited above.

United Stetesy de zive desporutely needed finencial sup, rt to groups -
such 68 the Luropeen Movement - working in Furope on behalf of unity.”

In America to 1. givo Amsricans a better understanding of the stepa to-

cations. and other grouvpe to study their iaplicsticns and the acens by

By way of beoxground inforantion, the Comnlttee stited in its early days:

"Despite Europe's recuperati.n from tne vislbie effectr of wertine dew
vastation, »ntiquated nations. berriers t. unity end progress ati: ins
vite dissster for all countries. A sontinent divided lnto seventeen se-
parete, confiictin, :olictical on? econoate vockets presents a veax and
vainerable flank, perilous to world pe.ce and security.

"Four decades of bloodshed and economic deteris:eti.:. hove taught the veoples
of Purope th t survival is taeosoibie witsout unity. As niver before, they
hive bonded together - etntermen, trade unionists, bustness leaders, church~
Bet and educators in a dosen nati ins - in the soverent for buropean unity,
Althou ch detersined to accomplish Union, they face many obstacles.

"Convinced of our stexe in the success af their work, the American Caanittre
on United Furope believes th t Americen eusvort snd eucoureceacnt can be

decisively helpful to the realirationd® this objective, Leaders in Hurooe
heve confirmed this belief, oma insist thst tne tha for maxious eftort fs

HORVAT, Pavle

Ss Pavle Horvat is of Slovenian orifin, about 50 years old and was
[ born in the Priekija district near the Huncarian border (formerly a —
> part of. the Austro-Hungarian monarchy).

Horvat became known durin: the thirties throush his numerous
MS . manifestos and posters by which he attempted to organize his own .
° political movement. This “moverent" was labeled various names at
ue : different times, At one time it was simrly referred to as a "peasant
movement,” at another time as the "Slovenia Secticn of the Croatian
. Peasant Party," and still later as an "inderendent Slovenian peasant
ra riovement." he never had, however, any following and never set up his
‘ own electoral lists. On the other hand, it is true, that the Croat
Peasant Party of Dr. “acek considered him as one of its trustees in

Slovenia for a short period.

He earned his living as a farmer. He also had a small village
-erocery shop and occupied himself in his district with "interventions,*
that is, performing all types of secretarial services for the peasants
of the area, A:ong other thincs, he undertook to organize the
transportation of the seasonal. workers who went to France and
Germany during the harvestins months, He had difficulties with the
home authorities and police in this respect and had to ap-ear before
the courts on a number of occasions. .

At the beginning of the wor he fled to Sacreb, Croatia, at that
time the Independent Croat State (Nazi purpet recime) of Dr, Pavelic.
There he set uv a smal] office for the relief of Slovenian refugees
but it never reached any large rroportions. He was not connected
with the Refucee Committee which handled the main relief work (Cne
source cointed out that the mere fact that he xvas able to establish
an office and function i:. Zagreb during the period meant that he was
at least passively acceptable to the Nazi regime. .

As far back as 1935 he is !mown to hve misrepresented himseif
as a "peasant leader,"

After the war Favle Horvat fled to Austria where he a-ain claimed
to be a Slovenian peasant leader and atterpted to whip up propaganda
for the. creation of a srecial "peasant group,” among the Slovenian
refuzees; he failed comleteiy. He was uncble to find follovers in
a single carr to form such a group, and the refugees refused to attend
his meetings. In addition he is known to have boasted that he was
acting on behalf of Hr. hacek and the Interrstional Peasant Union,
though he was mancated by neither. The Allied authorities were
finally forced to intervene ard brin, a stop to his activities since
they were causing discontent among the refugees and disorders in the

DP campse.

cer REET IR I LE TE,

. In July 1949, Horvat wrote the Honorable Josech C, Grew in care.
of the National Committee for a Free Europe introducing himself as
the Representative of the Democratic Slovenes and President of the
Interrational Peasant Union for Eurore, and suc-esting that he join
forces vith the Comnittee in the common strucvle against Communism.

“In return for a trip to the United States he offered to bring a

large confidential report on his activities to date and present a
scheme for successfully sunpressing cozriunism and delivering the
subsugated nations in the shortest possible time. He was informed
that the Fund was confining its activities to refugee leaders already
regiding in the United States and that the prorosed visit was ~

impogsible at that time.
Horvat has recently announced his forthcoming arrival in the

> United states, Several Slovenian and Croatian newspapers in this
country have received articles (which he wrote himself) glorifying

hig past and present activities, None of them, so far, have taken any
notice of these articles with the excertion of the Croat separatist
(pro-ustashi) paper, "DANICA," published in Chiceyo. Supposedly

Dr. “«acek was highly amused on reading the article describing the
great "Slovene peasant leader,”

Nobody in Slovenia in pre-war days would have considered Favel
Hervat as a person to be taken seriously in public life. He is
considered by a number of sources a political impostor and as
personally unethical, Neither the International Peasant Union for
Europe, of which he claimed to be president, nor the Denocratic
Slovenes, of which he is a repres ntative, is considered a leritimate
organization. The Director of the Fund's Yugoslavian Research and
Informaticn Desk was the editor of a daily paper in Slovenian for
eleven years before the war, He never met iiorvath, seldom heard of
him and his pcper, as far as he knew, never took notice of him or his

activities,

~ Dear Tome
‘ith reference to the wtephen Mainesyk en-e wich Sam discussed
“ with you during your recent visit, several questi.ns have arisen
fen concerning the broader arpectc of the type of activity Hainesyk wae
{ . undertaking in ad“ition to hin PFE duties, .

Specifically, wo wuld like to know what sort of em:loyment
contract RFF em loyeea enter into with RFF, If ro.sible, ve would
like a cory of a ty-ival eontr ct. ea are intere:ted in vnowlng
vhat restrictions, if any, are rlaced on enrloye:s' outside interests
or activities while e-ployed with RMS, particularly 25 they would
apply to a case such as Mainesy's, ‘e wouid 2133 like to hive
inforratioa on the tyro of security arreevant pre-ently in use
betveen RFF and its esployece, |

There ara attached sev-ral rspers bearing on the “alnonyk ease,
forvarded with a report on the satter, which wis preparsd¢ for our
/ friends across ‘he streat. This resort ws to the reneral ef:ect
a that the American m.naper of tha alaburg office of Radio Free
Rurope hao been deeply concarnet over events arising from “ainesyk's
recent death. ‘hile lo-kin- tersuch the persomal eff<cts of the
deceased, he found evicerce thit Maincayk had acce-ted roney for
the rpurnuse of asaisting indivicuals to eseare frees behin? the Irey
Curtain to the U,5.7one of Austria. The HIF manacer was further
disturosd to find that the entruste-! funds were not lictod a-ong the
asseta of the deceased or de: osited with the Aserican Express

Commany at Salsburg.

MECORANDUP HDR THE REODRD

“SUBIECTs Connittee for Kussian Liberation

1. I called Bob Joyce in the State Department yesterday
and asked him whether in nis view the State Departnent would
object,.to placing the new Committee for Russian Liberation under
the Crusade for freedom. I mentioned particularly a possible
caveat of the State Department -- that wo mignt be expanding the
Crusade at the very time we aad agreed at a series of meetings -
held recently that we would cut down its activities.

2. Joyce said that the azreenent with State was as to
method and scope of Crusade publicity and activity and that the
addition of the new Comittee under Crusade cover would not by
any means‘abrogate this agreement. ie said that we could so
ahead and count upon the State Department's approval. I asked”
him whether he would like a menorandun to this effect or whether
he would like to consult otmers in the State Department and he
scald no, that this was unnecessary, that we snould go ahead.

MEMORANDUM FOR: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR POLICY COORDINATION
- ~SUSJECTs NCFE

1. For quite some time the staf! ofticere of this divieion concerned
with utilising the facilities of the NC:2 and with-exploiting the
Alvdanian, Bulgarian, and Ruwanian emigrations have been sware of a lack
of adequate coordination batweon our om activities and those of the a
NCFE starf, in confunction with thoge r¥ Tivision officers responsible
for handling our relations with that organisation, ve have atteapted
to axplore the problem in order to find a solution which could be
considered realistic and practical.

ca

2. The difficulty lies not only 1” the communication system between
OPC and NCFE, which does not alwaye tranemit, at exactly the right time,
the right ideas from cne organisation to the proper individuals at the
right level .n the other. Althowsh we havs maintained very. close contact
, both informally and through formal channels, only too often we have not
been in a position to learn why NCE staff officers have made a givon decis~ :
fon in regard to some emigre organisation in whieh wa had an interest; and :
on the other hand, cur desires and needs have not always been fully under- S
stood or accepted in New York. Again, it has happened that we were '
ignorant of developments that closely affected ovr operations until it
was too late for us to maxe o.r influence felt, and, correspondingly,
- it must be admitted that we have ourselves pushed ahead with courses of
action without adequately brieting the NCFL, The most extreme case in
point known to us concerns the Rumanian enigration, where we and NCFE
are now pursuing conilicting policies. ‘dhe upshot of this has been the
gradual development of a situation wherein Orc is supporting an organisa-
tion, the NCtz, which is'not fully responsive to it.

3. This situation is not regarded by us as reflecting any fundamental ,
inadequacy in NCFc, or as ;resanting any insoluable difficulty. There \
exists a problem in staff interrelationship which ean and should be
resolved by a reform in our organigational ap roach, The goal toward which
we believe ve should work is one where OrC communication with KCIE would
ve channelled directly along a single high-level line which wo.ld firmly '
tie in AirC's office with thit of the head of the other organisation, .

deas, suggestions, information, atc. would flow, in the rzgular channels,
up fron the OFC working level to ATPC's office for review an: transmission
to the top office of NC*s, and flow down from there through Yo¥5's usual :
channels t> the proper individuals in its.operational machinery. /‘rersonal
contacts between individcals at a lower level in the two organisations _
would frecuently occur to supplement this casual crannel, when security ‘ -
permitted, but should be in the hands of responsible personnel who
understand the OPC policies involved.

. the establishment of thia post, with a suitable individual assigned to the

Tho National Councils Division of the National Comittee for a
Free Lurope was created on 3 April 1°50 by resolution sf tre Loard of
; Directors, The underlying principle, as stated in the Declaration of

Policy in June 1950, was to aid the "non-Fascist and non—Comunist

: leaders in thoir peaceful efforts to prepare the way to.erd the
: restoration in Eastorn Enropo of the social, politicel and religious
i libertios in which they and we believe." The councitla were to function
: as "sepresentative, harmonious and effective grouss" and, as such, to
play a part in the strurgle against Canmniss in Lastern iurope., They
i were not to be consideral as governments in extle nor as exis in then=

National Committees and Panels,® as supparted by MCFE, were to
fulfill a two-fold function: as 1) gvert instruients, they wera to

a reservoir of "name manpower for propacanda use, ¢) surprly general
Propazanda policy advice, and d) suprly Lorr with both ceneral and
Specific intellirence with respect to hoceland activities and personal-
ities. as 2) covert instruncnts, they were to serve as a cover for
operations undertaxen by CIA aimed at contatting Soviet oppression in

the satel'ite states.

at bringing together the kuranian Aceocilation ond the manacian

Corfronte1 with the situation skotched above, it would azpear that

DRAFT s TELEGHAY FROM’ THE HONCHABLE JOSEPH C. Gik®
TO CONGHECSMAN Oo Ke ARMSTRONG.

I keenly regret to inform you that, upon further reflection and
apon the basis of information which has recently come to my attention,
l consider it inpdvisable for ww ito addresa your Psycholoyical Stratezy
Conference, and that I find it necesssry to ask you to release me frox
speaking at your meeting on Saturday. ‘When I was first asked to speax
about the significance of ational Comittee for a Free Europe and the
activities of: ltadto Free Europe, Jf: understood that the Conference world
discuss propaganda and peychological warfare, I wagphe from the relesee Ae
issued by your o fice, that amony tle purposes of the conference nre the
presentation of definite plans of action to increase resistance movesstrte,
and to aid the peoples of the Soviet nation and the Satellite States te
overthrow their regimes, .as well as to eetablish a continuing orgariz3ticn
to carry out. the progrems developed at the conference, This release also
indicates that there will be full and cperi discussion of euch matters and
that persons purporting to represent underground movements in Poland, the
Baltic States, Russia, Chins, Kore, etcs, will take part in discussions.

It is my personal view that it world be unwise to discusssustters of -
this sensitive and provocative character in open meetings, particularly
where programs of specific action are considered. It seems to m that
public duscussione of such nattere end revelations of plans and prograss

‘ would not only expose snd thus jeopardize the existence of any r€lrgtznce.

movements which may be identified and described, a3 well as the Iivee oF

the people participatin,, brt would slco provide quantities of adverac
prenaganda material for use by Soviet and satellite propaganda m chines.

It i8 my conclusion that ry position and responsibilities sc Chairain cf

the National Comittee for a Free Europe axe it inappropriate for me to
speak befcre or lend my name to such 4 gethering because of tne si gnifi-g
cance which might be attributed to cuch eppearance. i want to express ry
full ey:pathy with the rotivation of yourself ard your co-sponsors, and

tu point out in thie connection that ¢h- a:u3 and ovjectives of the Netioral
Comaittee for a Free burcne, of which I a> Chairman, are to keer hope alive

THE “VOICE” AND RADIO FREE EUROPE
COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER

Both Are Indispensable |

1 .

“What's the difference berween the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe?” “Why
is it necessary to liave buth the Voice and Radio Free Europe?” These are frequent questions
asked of General Clay and the other leaders of the Crusade for Freedom.

The Voice and Radio Free Europe are both vitally needed if we are to win the
Cold War. .

They are completely separate organizations. Each performs a distinct function in the fight
against the gigantic Soviet propaganda machine. .

The Voice speaks with the authority of the U. S. Government. It is financed by Govern-
ment funds.

Radio Free Europe was set up by private citizens. Ic is financed by millions of individual
concributions co the Crusade for Freedom.

Voice is World Wide

The Voice is a worldwide network, broadcasting in 46 languages over 75 transmitters. ft
is the only American voice heard in the Soviet Union. Its 120 individual daily programs of
news, music, roundtables, commentaries, documentaries, service programs, etc., have a potential
audience of 300,000,000 listeners. - , .

Radio Free Europe is much smaller. It concentrates on the captive countries behind the
Iron Curtain: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and Albania. Its cransmit-
ters are in Western Europe.

The Voice speaks for the American people, spreading the truth about democracy, giving a
true picture of. life in the United States, and spiking Moscow's lies about us, Ir reperts in full
on ofhcial American acts and documents, presents news and world developments from our
poinc of view.

Buc Voice is nor limited co Government pronouncements; it regularly reflects American
opinion as expressed in our press and radio. Ina friendly way—with programs of informa-
tion and service—ie promotes a better understanding of the United States in Europe, in Latin
America, the Far East and the Near Ease. :

L Exiles Speak Over RFE

Radio Free: Europe, on the other hand, does nut portray America. It concentrates largely
on what is taking place within the slave. countries. Over its transmitters Poles speak to Poles,
Hungarians to Hungarians, etc. They speak'as “the voice of Free Poland,” “the voice of Free
Hungary.” etc. They look at theie people's problems through their own eyes. :

“ RFE programs specialize in identifying and denouncing Communist informers and collab-
orators, sending back messages from escapees, and exposirig the corruption and crimes within
the Red regimes.

In their broadcasts to behind the Iron Curtain, the Voice and-Radio Free Europe have ¢s-
sentially the same aims: co keep alive the hope of liberation; to let listeners know that they
have not been forgotten; to stitfen their resistance against their Communist oppressors; to ex:
pose che fraudulenc basis of authority upon which the Mascow-dominated regimes rest.

Both combat Communism and the persecution of religion and denial of human rights.
Both report the superior industrial power and fighting potential of che free world over the ; ,
Sovier-enslaved world. ‘ 3

‘ ; 1951 Year of Progress for “Voice”

D uring the past year the Voice of America:
1. Stepped up daily programming from 30 to 50 hours daily. i
2. Made progress in overcoming Soviet jamming. ,
. 3. Increased its broadcasts to behind the Iron Curtain, adding the “splincer” languages of
; Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Tatar, Turkestani, Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian. |

4. Inaugurated programs to Albania, Finland, Israel and Portugal in their respective languages; '

: to China in two additional dialects, Swatow and Amoy; to Japan and South and Southease .

‘ Asia in Hindi, Urdu, Thai, Burmese and Malayan.

5. Became more outspoken and hard-hitting. One of the principal chemes was the support of
the UN effort to ‘repel the Chinese and North Korean Communist aggression in Korea.
Major attention was given to exposing the fraudulent Soviet “peace” drive.

6. Began work on che “Ring Plan” approved by Congress, which calls for a network of power-
ful relay bases girdling the globe.

7. Created * “Vagabond” '—a ship equipped with a transmitter, so chat radio broadcasts may
be relayed from shipboard.

8. Received 318,000 lerrers from overseas lisreners—an increase of 354; over 1950.

9. Need'ed the Communists so successfully char Radio Moscow and Soviet regional stations

Dear Abbotts

Ihave just been informed over the telerhone
that Earle jiogers. of Counsel Services, Inc., has called
a meting of the Crusade for Freedom Corrdttee in this
city, and hoo failed to consult ma in any way in this,
me tele

This hes resulted, os usual, in causing
utter confusion in the minds of everyono, and bodes no
good for the Crusade in this city nor for the sponsoring
orpanination ~ the Rational Co:ml tue for a Free Europe,
for wiich the Crusace is operating. In your letter of
Dacemer 7, 1991, to Mr. Hulbert T. Bisse:le, Chairman of
the Crusade for Freedom in the District of Columbia, you
desigrated mi as, Directer of the waphirngton, 1.0, office.
AS I lave received no instrustions fros you to the con=
trary, I have presuned tais situation to te continuing.

The fact that ir. Rogers would proceed ina
mitter of thiz kind without co:sultaticn with tnis office,
and without being co:misaloned by you to undertake auch a
pocting, ia most disturbing. This ie the sort of thing
that will really kill the Crusade for Freedom in thia city.

I shall hope to discuss this otter with you
when bi New York on Thuraday.

; This letter concerns the matter which I discussed with you
briefly last week. :

. For some months psst both the officers end directors of the

‘ NCFE have been ccncerned ss to what protective steps could be taken
in behalf of foreign naticnsls working for Radio Free Furope in
Germany under conditions which might arise in certain eventuslities,.

I attach copy of s letter becring on this matter which was
written by Lung to Gates Lloyd on November 5, 1951. It gives a
concise cutline of the problem and suggests a solution cf the sme.
To date, es fer as I know, we have not been able to secure eny
assurances that. this is being taken care of. If, us we have been
informed, the Army suthoritigs in Germany are willing to help uvon
receiving clearance from the Department of Defense, we feel every
effort should be made ta implement this promptly.

Apart fr-m the very resi present end potential future value of
the foreign nationals in the group, the Comnittee feels that It has
a definite morsl obligstirn to seek the seme degree of assist nce
and protecticn for them as would be efforded United States citizens
under the ccnditions referred to.

: Personally, I feel tnis ob-igation is e broader cne which ex-
: tends to this Goverrrent £5 well.

Last Tiursdé: when ‘ve ware discussing this question in New
York, Jce Grew was ruch interested ard seid he would be glrd to cssist
in any way possible. We ali felt, hevever, thet this is not a metter
whien the Committee ean take up direct with the Defense Dep rtrent or
: other Government egencies tere exd thet it enn only be brought to a

Deer Mr,

4g you know, RFE hes, ct Lhe present writing; seme 1000-1100 -
peorte in Gervanry. They sre largely concentrated in Munich end its
er virirg, elthough ucme tre sesttcred on nd areund the Frenkfurt and

Meidelterg region. The stsff is compoved of Americans, Czechs,

Sleveke, ‘Yurgeriuns, Poles (at on ezrly dete), lnrye numbers of German
keusekcepirg ard engineering personnel, plus a few French, Swiss,
Belgiers, Pritish, etc. Full detzils on the disposition of the staff :
tre evellatle in Munich and heve been turned cver to EUCOM in an effort :
to interert EUCOM in the mest sericus problem which faces us teday - . ,
thet of evicustion in the event of a move by any of the Russian armies.

Through Lt. Co. Ciccolelle we heve keen fortun.te enough to
have cur émericsn personnel included in the evacuation plen of the
Muntech Feet Commend. At this writing, however, we stind to lose our
extrecrdirarily cepeble , well trained ard ecmvletely vestern-ortented
foreigr stzff.

ZUCOM, on its own, hes done 811 thet it, con but needs a directive
from the Dezertmert of Defense in Washingtcn to the effect that the
RFE steff isto be considered a "war asset" und given e high prierity
on the evecuztion schedule. This priority should include the foreign
neti-rels whe heve been trsined into the PFE effort since withcut them
whatever egency which would tske over the AFE steff would be canpletely
lost.

Cur investigations, snd very censidercble work dene in the field
on this eubfect, prove th:t FUCOM is more t'en willing to tcle uron
itself this edditionel evacuation burden if so directed by the Dapurt-
mert cf Deferse.

This is a matter of extreme im-ort nce nct oriy te us but to who-
ever wi") inherit the tesk cf influencing the satellite ure:zs when ard
efter tre Russien ermies have coved into western Euro ,e. RFE 'ss proved
thet it is the Czechs, Hungurisns end the Poles who cen best do @
psychciceicel warfare job, Without their cemplete participstion we
would te lost in this "peacetine" effort, end withcut their future

‘perticipation whoever inherits cur tesk in tine of war would be equally

lost. .

MENORANDUN OF OOUVFRSATION

Present were Messrs. Jackson and Washburn of HCFE, Keaurs. Barrett,
dJoyee, Devine, Sargeant and kohler froa State, avi Messrs. Dulloa,
Wisner, Liayd and Braden from CIA. ‘The neeting vas held in

Kr. Barrett's office on 17 January at k:30 pa.

ONCUSON: That the Crusade for Freedom organization should continue.

The Mllowing is a transcript of Mr. Braden's notes of the
meoting.

C. D. led off, odnitting the frustrations that a long caspaign
on the Crusades for Preedon caused to the State Department and sug-
gested the following progran:

1. A ledsy bell-ringing campaign in ail cities.
2. Direct mail to corporations.

At this point, Nr. bachturn interjected to say that he wuld need
about two weeks of "Low drums" promotion before te ieday caupaign.
Jackson went on to say that ‘under such a schare there would be no
time on tho part of the chaizmman for a bulld-up of invidious eapari-
sons in the orese. At Jackson's request, Hr. kashburn passed around
a Crusade publication entitled "Tne Volos of amarica - 1951 = A lear
of Frogreas". Tnis brochure, wiich in four paces ;Praisce hignly the
work of tie Voice of Anoriea, is to ba nalied ty tne Crusade to (ts
enief contritutora.

Hr. Barrett then mada the following points:

1. Tho National Caasttee for a Free Europe grew out of the
idea of helping refugoes and of giving then a volee. It has changed
aver the years to a huge operation wita many now ideas, end the
Crusado for Freedom camo along ag a cover necesal ty.

2. He asked unsther the denando of fanderalsing had not begun
to make less effective the primary Job of holring refugees, whethor

tho tail -- Crusade for Freedom e« is not wagiing the dog. He
renarkod that in a conversation with Ainan Valontine ho had found
that Valentine ie inclined to agree with hin,

3. Against Mr. Waciburm and the Crusade for Freedom, he had
only ono complaint, They were too good, too big-time. They made
wuch an effective appeal taat the recipients could not avoid running
down the competitor. Ho stated ag iis opinion tiat the Crusade was
jeopardizing a muiti-million dollar operation <- the Voleoo of Amorios ==
and might even be Jespariicing anotier multi-miltion dollar operatian <<
Radig Free Rurope -- for the sake of raising three million dollars.

kh. {le thought balloons ond some other operations done by the
Comittee wero beat done by private meni.

§. Ho leaned toward going back to the beginning and looking
at the Crusade as purely a cover oporation and mt an attempt to . 1
raise large funda and making a lot of hoopla. He sugzeuted that the .
Crusade siould raise only enough money and make only enough of a
ompaign to provide a dignified cover. Ho suggosted mail colicita-
tion, mazasine advertisements, tho publicising of two or three largo
anonymous gifts, all without hign-prosoure. Then he said, “Let's
get on with the main Job of radio and refugees.”

Mr. Dulles asked whether this danger to the Volco wap so great.
"Didn't you get more money tais year’® Sarrett's answar was "Ho"
and he pointed out that there was no damage done to the Voice by tha
Crusede tris year insofar.as fimds ware concerned but ne feared the
future. Dulles asked waethor wo couldn't work out the tining of the
Crusade so that thare wuld be no interferences on tho hill. Hr. Barrett
did not directly answer the questian. ile sald the cover waa bad. Too
many people already lmow the truti: sbdout tho Crusade and he is worried
about it. He sald it surprised sin that it worried nia more than it
vorrioed Mr. Dullea. A large campaign raises tha question, he said.
Of bow all the work 15 done on suca a small amount of money. Ha
thought the Crusade called attention to itself os cover.

Howland Sargeant asked Jackson to mawer this question, ")f
Wiet various uses are the Crusade?" Jackson listed then as follows:

‘ 1. Cover. He agreed with Hr. farrett that the Crusade both
inereased and decreased te security danger.

2. It brings in nonsy.

3. It edacatas and intorests izoricans in the whole prodles
of psychological warfare and propaganda and dose oo sore than any
thing else tuat is manaced ty tne Goverment or by private funds.
He thought this was greatly important and sald that al tacugh be

realised that mistakes had beon made and the Crunado had eri ticlsed
the Voico, strdteically the Crusade muld be of enonmus help te
the Voice ly publicising the need for communtoating to pocple in
alavery. .

Sargpant thoucht point 3 was the most inportent. He asked wheather
the Cruasdo couldn't be ted in with tiie point. Jackson sald, "Yeo,
emi wo ory atarting with this lasue of the Cruseteor publiciaing the
Yoico." Washtumn sddeed that 25 million contritatora, counting this -
yearts and last yearta oontributions, may prevent cutting down the
operation as Farrett cugcesta. They will raise a lot of queations.
Barrott disagreed and repeated his sugcostion of a one-month eporation
confined to magasino adverticing and dirvet mail. Jackson askod about
the magazine acvertiaing. He said you had to write eopy for magazine
atvertiaing and tho copy would have te advertise Kadio Freo Europe.
Rarrett anewored, "You ean control the copy on macagine ata. There
is a lot of time allowed for going ovor thom carcfully bafore they got
into print.®

Wachturn repeated several tinos that it wuld te a creat shano to
Tet the Crusade go. Jackson said the Crusade gave a real lift to
exiles not only hero but abroad.

Rohler said he had deen thinking about tho prehlom and had te
sugzeations to mako:

1. Could wa oxhort people to give a collar t hactlo Preo Europe
and at the cma tine to write a lettor to thelr Ongresamen backing up
the Voloa of Arorloa? ,

2. Gould tho Radio Advisory thanittes of the Volos of Amorica
teen tp ttn the Crusade to help with general publicity?

Jackson enevered the first question "No". He thought that would bs

dangerous. To the sacand question, he sald "Yer®, Ne acain outlined
tio idea for a campaicn calling for education on @ genersl paycholegi-
eal warfare progren with o final request to contribute to the Crusade.

%. Dulles again acked Hr. Barrett about iis financial problexs
and the timing of his request to the hill. Barrett said he vould havo
the soot difficulty fron January to Jwiy. hashturn eaid, "Then we'll
won a osspaign in leptenbder only and there’1) be no hori-dlowing until
then.”

Dalles said that he thought tnat if the Crusade could be limited
to ieptenber he doubted that it would interfore wits =r. Barrett's

with Mr. Dullos' view of the Crusade giving invisible cupport and
wondered whether wo could not xske the invidible aspects visible.
fie thought that to hold tho whole Crusade organization together for
a yoar merely to conduct a two-week cazpaign would waste many yood
ments time, Barrott agrecd that a twoeueck campaign wouldn't keep
the organisation alive. ‘

Sargeant asked Lf there wore not other ideas wie ould be fed
through the Crusade msacainery, thus aaking nora constructive uae of

it.

Farrett ralaed the question :2f internationalteing the Crusade
effort. Jackron replied that there was an abortive Frenen project
wnioh he thought would shortly fall flat on ito face. The Brition,
he thought, would zhortly make a final decision as to whethor to go
ahead wits an exile program or not. Ho seencd dublous that they
would decide to do o. He montianed Joan Paul David and i’alx ob
Liberte as the only foreign operation in this field which ha! any
epark to it. Barrett agrocd but askod whether or not some Furopeana
couldn't be put on the Hoard of Directors. Dulles replied that thie
was very difficult, tat thay couldn't attend meetings for one thing.
Parrott said, “Couldn't there be an annual mecting simply ao a front,

aa cenouflage?*

dackson said that NCFE did get tnvalved in European organisationo,

that they had close affiliations wit: tne Furopean hove.ent, with the
Pree Trade Union Comitteo in bxile, wth the Intornational Journalists,
wits Stranpbourg Univermty, and all tie radio progrmas were reaching
the point wnere thay were thought of ao prograss belonying to the people
t whom they wore broadcast. NCFS had, no toought, internationalised

a great deal and in a vary natural way. A board 9f foreign direators
would epoil that natural process by setting up an obvious puoney.

Washbum again raleed the anrunent of tining the caspaipn to take
place only in September. There was no direct msvonse te this sugses-
tlon.

Sargeant, referring again ty the uso of tho invislilo assets
mentioned by Dulles, tought that if tie Crusade cantinued it sould
be planned not primarily to raise funds sxcert as cover. Attention
should be focused on:

1. Ine development of understanding; tne battie for tne minds of
BBA. .

2. Two or three concryte tings whiica private cltisens could do

THE NATIONAL COMMIPTEE FOR A FREE EUROPE, INC, is a
group of private citizens who have drawn together to carry out concrete
and direct action to restore and strengthen man’s most valued possession—
freedom,

The Committee has ay its active allies numerous exiled democratic
leaders who have found haven in the United States from the Communist
tyranny of Eastern Europe, Radio Free Europe, of the National Commituce
for a Free Europe, is setting up facilities that will enable these trusted
patriots ta be heard again by their own people. Not onty does Eastern
Furope hear the exiles’ impressions of the United States, but American
mesvages of hope and encouragement are transmitted, and, above ail, the
truth which totalitarian governments forbid their enslaved peoples to hear.

Freedom or the enslavement of men’s minds and souls, is the vital issue,
What shall we pass on to our children—their rightful heritage of freedom,
or the spiritual devastation of Communism? At this very moment the kind,
of world they will inheric hangs in the balance. The issue is for you to

decide. Tn the vital couflict for the preservatioi: of freedom, the National |
Committee for a Free Europe offers every single citizen the opportunity te |

throw in his weight.

Ata meeting a? the Executive Committee of the Board of N.C.F.F,
held on Jimury 3rd Lett, the nembers felt that tvo of the subjects
diecunsed at that tise should be called to your ettention 80 that you
might know the viewz of the Committee dn the event these mattcra wers

brought befors you 24 £ later date,

The firat cereerns & sugyection which eppercntly came informelly

from McCluny end otzers in Amcomfrce, thut 1f mesna could be fourd to
do so, they be allowed to use some of the P.P.L. facilities in Gerneny
for certein of their troedcusts. Since this metter was not brought up
as a formal request, 20 action wae trken by the Comittee, but the in-
@ividual members unzsinously exprecsed the opinion thut this would be
moct inadviauble end tht they would be opposed to the use of R.F.F.
fecilities for thie garporse even if time and frecuencies wers aveil-
eble, which 1s not £* €11 certain. Since Ameomfrce is an orgrnizetion
in which you have direct interest 1t seems edvieable to acquaint you
with our feelinge <r. tse aatter should you or:your organization be
epproeched by McClucy or othera on this subject. Without going into
details at this time es to the reasons for our feeling. in tho matter,
our moin concern 13 tiet Amconfree's targets ore envirely different
from those in which ve are interested, and from th: standpoint of
operation from Germzr e011 they ere far less likely to be agreeable to
BONN. We are feerfrl of putting in Jeoperdy e presently successful
operation and four t< five million dollars of etuipaent by the Intro-
duction of a project weich wa feel should be kept separate and apart.

The other metter which come up for formel ection involved the
advieshility of undertzking Polieh programing in Germany, and the
Executive Committce urzntmously syreed th.t R.F.P2. zhould proceed
vith the plens prezexted. In brief, such plens call for the origine-
tion of from three * four tours deily of Foileh vrogruming from Munich
beginning on or about Mey 1, 1952, and the introduction of some 50 to
60 Poles into the efty ef Munich for work with Pe F.E. to carry out

this schedule.

Since this is e x<for step in the development of R.F.§. progrem-
ing and more perticul-rly beesuse of the forthcening neyotietions be-
tween representatives of N.C.P.0., HICOG, srt BOKH, it was felt thet
you should be formelly sdvised of this decision. The Frecutive Con-
mittee also wanted t+ ¢o on record to the effect taat while they
retlized the riske involved, affirm:tive action wes teken as @ result
of opinions given by Messrs. Byroede, Kellermern trd Streuss of the
Geruen Desk, Departazrt of State, end by Messrs. Stone, Lewis and

Desr Allen:

ab the Gressée Sourd Meeting: last Friday, C... reported in detail on our
meeting in Ed Barrott's office.

This was followed by a senerno) discussion of the nature and scope of the
19S? Grussde program. Briefly, there was agreemcnt thet the progrrm in
192 should be considerably reduced in scope, thet the emphasis should be
taken off publicity and placed on fund-raising with the promotional period
teing reduced from two months to two or three weeks. . It was felt that a
direct mail canpaicn to our present list of givers -- plus a thorough
solicitation of corporntions -~ would be desirable.

Thera was discussion also of a one-night house-to-house canvass, nation-wide,
on Constitution Day next September. Mr, Poole suggested that, in addition to
Radio Free Europe, the 1952, Crusade might place emphasis on the newly formed
Free Eurepe University in Exile at Strasbourg, France. General Clay -
recomended that tha Advertising Council's assistance in the new c:mwpaign

be sousht at the enrliest moment,

TI have reported: the above to John Demewood -~ elso your instructions on the
sutnission of a budget.

$450,000 was the estinated figure which we mentioned to you as adequate to
cover the entire operation. After careful study and ell possible paring,:
the total budget submitted herewith amounts to $423,991... this to be
spresd over the eleven renrining monthe of 1952. :

Cf this total, $222,270 would fall in the present fiscal year (5 months at
$44,454 per zonth).

The total budgeted figure is sligttly more than a cuarter of the coat of the
195. campaiom. With the ground work that has been laid during the past two
drives, it should realize at least as much as the campaign just completeds
altrough thia, of course, is difficult to estinate.

We hava had further talks with the VOA people, and the "Crusader" supplenent
devoted to the Ysice will a:vear next week. They seewed very pleased about

it.

Best regards,
Sincerely,

Dear Co. Des

_ 48 promised at our lost nesting, hore is the text for a now
paragraph 3 of the Mimites of the Meeting Held in Vashington on
Us Desenber 1951. Phic was dictated by Gliver £. Hadwood.

*3. Jaokoon atviaed that he had a tentative date to
call on tho Vord Foundation people in ?asadena cn January Sth.
Braden advised that 1t would be appropriate at thet tine to
make a strong pitch on the Iren Curtain refngee problen with
the fdea that the government was teokling this problem but
needed substantial help froa private agencies, and that if
Ford would give a sizable sus to ECFZ, which it in turn sould
fara out to IRC, it would help to get the ball rolling on a
major peychological warfaro problen. Braden stressed that
private int*iative was extrezaly important that if a private
gency ected now, it would speed up the governmental machinery,
Ho algo said that the maxinua estinated covernncntal contrie
bation teward this problea was. not expscted to be more than
half the cost.

"Braden also advised that IRC hed agreed with David
Martin for Martin to step down fron his post as Yxecutive
Dircator and that tho Commtee was considering the appointe
nant of a well-known unalversity president to assuze the job.
Ba said that Hartin had agreed to step out of the picture
altogether if the Connittee wished hia te do so but that in
aay case bis role fron now on would bs ninor.

®It was also agreed that this discussion of refugees and
TRC could include the plan worked up by Berle end lolbeare to
turn over to IRC RCFE *non-produstive exiles at a csst to NCTE

of approxinstely 81,000 a heed.*

7 system af some kind of national panel shose nosbers would be appointed by NCFB
to work on the problem of their respective mticnlities (presucably within -
: the dictates and neods of American forcign policy). lr. Barbour advised tnat

1. Rogmrding the preject mentioned in tha refereneed eenorantua
to transfer eporczinately 100 Folish exiles to Portugal for tho
purpose of conducting folish prograas froa that country, Hr. Robert &,
Lang, Direster of facio Free lurope, hae advised us that on .

3 January 1952, the coard of Lircotas of the National Committee
for a Free Kurcpe, Ins. Cevided that at loast for the present,

4% would be sivisable to do all roliah programming in Munich. He
stated that oa fr. C. be Jackson's last trip to Portugal, the
authorities thare acviged hin that. ary Polioh oxiles brought in
under the aleove-xentioned cirsuastances would have to live under
senditions approxinating "house arrest,® since the Portugese
goverment would not tolerate their cireulating freely within the

country.

2. Later Yr. Spencer Phenix stated that he and Mr. Oregory
Thomas believed that scene fev Poles could be brought in withont
sech drastic actio: by the Portucese authorities. Ye also oxpreased
Goncern that the short wave commnications between Munich and Lisben
were not LOOK satisfactory for tranomitting the Polish programs,
which are then relayed owt of Lisben to Poland. Ie felt thas
programaing tn Portugal would be the best way to handle the probles
but edeitted that spprexiaately 100 people vould be nseded, and,
under the olroustances, he egroed that it was detter to keep tha

Dear Freds i

I am enclosing, for your confidential information, a
translation of a letter received by tho /ustrian Minister in
Washington, which has been brought to the attention of our
friends, In discussing this matter the Austrian Enbas:y
pointed out that Austria was an occupied country in which were
stationed, am-ng others, Soviet troope and expressed the hope
thet NCFE would refrain from taking any action which might
put Austria in an embarrassing position.

I am confident that we can count uyon your cooperation
in rreventing the devclopment of any eltuation which would
embarrarce the Austrian Government,

Sincerely,

Thank you for reminding me that Fd McHale may soon
be available. Ag you say, I know him, tnougn slightly,
but I have always heard excellent things about hin.

I have made an attempt to find out who expreased
interost in him to Tou Myers but cannot do so. Perhaps,
thorefore, you would pass this note on to Tom and ask hin
to let ae know sometime soon who expressed the interest.
That would help me ascertain whether wa will want to try
to bring him down here.

My very best wisies to you for the New Year.

PROPOSED STATIMEN

r

Tne Natlonal Committee for a Free Furope ia an organization of
private American cltirens wiose purpose 4s to encouraga the spread
of frecdom behind the Iron Curtain in Europe. It 1s a meabersaip
corporation, chartered under tho laws of the State of New York.

In spreading the doctrine of freedom and combatting Soviet
totalitarLanian, the (antttee operates radio stations wileh plores
the Iron Qurtain; in close cooperation with the French authoritios
and the Univoraity ef Strasbourg, it operates an educational eentre
at Strasbourg for young men and women who have escaped fron bahind
the Iron Curtain; it attempts by other means than radio to carry
messares of hope and of tho poaribllity of eventual liboration to
the nationa witch are now enslaved; it conducts studies of tho lava,
customs and cultures of theso nations as they existed prior to
Soviet occupations and-it documonte the changes whioh have been
imposed by the Soviet so that if the time should come when the
people risé against their conqusrors, they may more easily estab-

‘lish contimity with their past.

In all of this work the Comiittes draws information and support
from many sources -- from those who have escaped and wno must resain
anonymous for fear of roprisals on their families at home, fron taose
in this country who wish to work voluntarily for the cause of freedon
abroad, from the American people at large, and from goverment agen-
¢elee which, in the American tradition, give all possible aid to
private citisens engaged in a worthwille public cause.

Pand raising for the Comalttee ia done by a subeldiary, the
Crusade for Freecom which, in the course of raising monoy, also
helps to keep before the Amorican people and people throughout the
world the noed for spreading tho idea of froedom. For example, the
Freedom Bell, which now rings regularly over the clty of Berlin, was
the gift of sixteen million Americans who contributed to the Crusade
for Freedon. All in all, signatures and voluntary donations fron
Bore than twenty-five million Americans have come to the Crusade for
Freedom to date. Generous contributions have also been made to tha
Committee by private foundations; and at the request of Governaent
agencies, certain specific research and other projects have been
undertaken and carried on with the assistanoe of funds provided by
the departmente or agencies concerned.

A Board of Directors consicting of proainent American citisens
from all walks of life pass upon the policies and supervise tho


2s

ope rations of the Comittee. Tie work of the Oommlttee is carricd
forvard under the direction of its Fresident, Rear Adziral Harold B.

Miller, UH Retired, who is on leave of absence from the American.

SECURITY INFORMATION ;
17 dune 1952

MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr, Braden, PY/10
SUBJECT: Radio Free Europe

1. For your information the following report on Radio Frec Europe
Hungarion broadcasts was received here recently, although the informa="—~ ~~~
tion was obtainod last Marche .

"a, Radio Free Europe broadcasts from MUNICH, Germany,
are more popular than the Voice of America programs and its
news coverare is considered both current and based on authen-
tic sources, However, ita cormentaries on foreign politics
are severely criticised and allegedly the general opinion in
Hungary is that whoever writes this program has not the
slightest idea either of the conditions in Hungary or of the

‘ general needs of the people.

"bv, There arg also opjections to the prosran of News
Briefs (ROVAT ADASOK), This propram is considered a nuisance
and isn't even listened to by those for whom it is intended.
By scheduling 15 and 50 minute prorrams specifically veamed
to different segments of the population, such as: the women's
program, the church prorram, the farmer's program, book and
movie reviews, etc., Radio Free Europe reduces its listening
audience to those wno mirht be interested in tne specific
program, while the majority o: the listeners are forced either
to cease listening to their radios or chanre to another broad-
castin: station. As a result, Radio Free Surope has been losing
its audience and the decline is especially noticeable during
the progran of News Briefs when the majority of tne listeners
allegediy change over to the BRC program.

"ec. The worxers are particularly interested in political
news and are in an excellent position to spread the news
throughout the factories. Apain the BRC aprears to be the
most popular station. Informant learned of the fate of one
Imre HO2VATH, & proup lewier in a Textile Mill in SZ2GiD,
HORVATH passed on some news concerning the activities of the
"Political Police? of SZEGED which he had ericinally heard
on ona of these foreirn broaucasts, This resulted in HOIVATH
bein imsediataly transferred to DUMAPLNTHlRand ais ®yroup"
was disbanded.

"d. The necessity for special prograas beamed at the
youth of Ilungary is vory acute. The youth of today which .
has pasaed ito léth your of age docs not listen to children's
prosrang any loner but ia interested in broadcasts on the i °
subject of anti-Commnist idsolozies, This is the ago proup |
that tho Communists are ospocitally interested in and on whose
etucation in tha Communist apirit spsetal emphasis is placad. :
All of this azo froup, without oxcention, attends Communist
Party schooly and Marxist seminars and also reccives pro=
military traintnz. To ald in this therouvh indoctrination
in Marxism -aa- presented to them, special nowspupers and
maxazines full of Communist ideological autorial are being
published, It ta therefore hirhly desirable that speclal
promrams aimed ut thig youth group be prepared so that thoy
will bo ablo to judve for themselves the truo conditions in
comparison to the propagunda that is fed to them by the

Communist reine of Ihungary."
~ The comment o1 the field accompanying this report statos:

"An effort is being made to ascertuin the basis of the above critique

of foreisn radio broadcasts by asking Informant if this critique repre-

sents his ow opinions or the opinions of one or more friends or casual

contacts, and whethor it is an observation o: the pregrang which were

heard during his short visit in GUDAPEST or based on a longer period of

tine. Inasmuch ug Informant cannot be contacted directly, we have no .

My opinion on this matter ia the same as
Campbell's: that Pella has not fottan a
square deal from NCFE,

Rave talked to Mary Newsom (kext acting chief
of Rumanian desk, PC) on this and she 1) agrees
that Palla should ret renumeration for hée 7
work and 2) thinke that his background is 0.K.

Also talked to Wilson Ptitchett, Re doesn't

5 Subject: Crusade for Proedon Topaimn

rae

T have studied very carcfully the plan for the fund raising earpaiim this
fall aubnitted by Fred Satth, S$ serics of discussions have becn held with
the staff of Crusade for Precis, end the followin conclusions aro the
consensus of all who hove studicd tho proposed progrens

CT eres wmarmne Fy 2

: First, it de felt that because of the nitionevide neeeptinee of the Crusads

. and Lts rccogntsed success curiny the pist two yours it would bo a mistake
to substitute the "Ddius foe Precast slogan for Crisade for Freeda. Tho
Advertisiny Council concire wit! us in our reluctance toe use the word "Dinca"
for several substantial revgonee Forumost anony them fo the fact that our

; drive for funds will cnd on eecwber th, and the Warch of Olas, which

the Advortisin:; Council will ales scsist on, will ctart chout Januiry lste

i Another inportant frictar to be eomsiderce is the diffieulty of scllint a
nev Slogan, ¢ such ag Jimes for fre eda, to « public which has alscady cone

tributed $3,500,000 te sunport Trusade for Frecdoay, Freedom Ucll, ‘nda of

Preedon, Radio Free Lurope and redo Frceo Asiae

+ r.9t only loses th: cffeot of tho last two
: ecanpiiens which fave neeeptrrtc tr the name Crusade gor Freedon, but ane

takea no apparent thous! of the future of the ornmatzation, “that horpe
in 1953? Do wo start from cersteh avin with cone completely nav nreantional

icca? By changinsy emphasis every yoar we bulla up no ecntinuing and ine
ercasing acceptance of the Crisedc for Preodon.

The Dines for Freedon prosran

Another danger inherent in the pirn is the drive for 10,000,000 simaturcs.e
Even with the Freedom Trein rn freed AM, whieh people eruld sce, hear,
touch and ring, 15,090,000 eL-returcs were abtatieds Tt 1s highly Laprobable
that we could cueure 40,000,007) simitures wlth nothing more tanvible than
the le dentt like Comnunisa" strtesente

Execpt for the Dimes for Frieden elocmin and the usual outline of estate and
locsl organizitions, the plan its<lf doca not lend ttself w exceution.
Puerhans the react difffieult ccarction wauld be tht of tha trucks with the
proposed huge serelis. Their erocsecouitey trek would be cxtrenuly hard to
: operate and courdinates Phe “eather + su)d esuce sreat difficultice, pore
ticulsrly crossing the northern Yeo eculd not depend on any truck

biesbe
holding %2 a sch edule neross the Ickotes, Nebraska, or half a dozen other

states turing the blizzard scion

Another facter to be considercd £3 thit cwery tom in the evuntry would not
; ‘be virited.
: Tho ddca of having the trucks esavere on Vachinetiza is one which £ think
should be wiven a proat deal <f ecnsiderstiong J herve ns dvsot tut that
thy Department of State and speerficelly the Yolec of ancries would protcst
vigorously to any a>proach that sivkt bu mide to Consre3sse

a) ov natures and addressca.

os

‘Ic have came up with another idea which we feel] would lend itself to the
mrcatest possible psycholo.tical warfare usayce It would also cnable us to
coordinate our caupaimn wit! the objectives and progran of the Voice of

Ancricas

Tying in the previous acconzrlishents of the Cruscde, mmely, facilitics
for Radio Free Europe, the Freedom Bell and the balloon opuretion, we fecl

. that we could distribute throuck our ctate and local orzanizations nillions

of thin paper lcaflets, cuc.. as those uscd in the “finds of Freedom operations
Theso Would carry a message based on the Christmrg thee of pence on carth, -
wood will to men; the Frecdon bell would be printed at the top, and beneath
the forcign languaze messauce sould be space at the bottom for pcrzonal

And the si:maturca would be promoted throughout
the country on the bacis that these nessaces of good will would be Slom

An balloons behind the Iron Curtain during the Christmas scason. The basic
oepproach to tho Amcrican pecple would be that their contributions to this
yoarts campaign would not only go to purchacc balloons thit ‘sould carry
their personal messaze behind the Iron Curtain (we now have stored in iunich
55,000 unmarked P-20 balloons and 5,000 balloons marked “lolnesc"), but
sonld also go to improve and increase the facilitics of Radha Free Europe

and Radio Free Asias

The focal point of this carpaizn would be a balloon itself. | “ic have 20,000
Pe20 balloons in Minneapolis. These balloons could be dt stributcd through
etate chairmen to citics and tomns where they could be inflated and placed
in front of city hall or public squarce Bencath the balloons, rceeptacles
srould be placed where both the lesflets and contributions covld be collected,
For oxample, cach city comnittce could lettcr its balloon to.rcad "Prom the

Citizcns of Peoria, Illinois, U.S.A."

Actually, none of these balloons would be shipped to Europe, but the Icaflate
could be aix-matled to New York on December 15th and be forwarded to Munich

to arrive before Christmas Day.

Another possibility to be esnsidcred is the "gift" fron pmertinan people idea.
We now have in lunich 100,090 razor blades, 75,000 needics, 150,000 cakes of
sop and 100,000 zippers. These might be included in the balleons. I think
this idca has uuch to commend it. For one thing, this would jive somcthinz
besides words to the pesples behind the Iron Curtain who are likcly to ret
fed up on too many messaccs which tell tien to keep thcir chins up. Sucondly,
it provides an cxecllent way of countering Red proparanda aginst the baller
operation; Radio Free Burope will then be able to ask, ‘Jon't your masters
want you to reccive gifts? Don't they want you to ask why. it is so difficult
to get razor blades in your country and why the free world’ has enouch of

then that it can send then to you?" i

I presume that the question will be raised as to what the Communists rould
do with advanee knowledge of the opcration.g I fccl tht the answer to this

“ics in the joint operction of both RFE and VO\, continuzlly rcportiny during ©

the month of tho-Crusade—of—the reat trive-throughoct-amerien-t?-secure

these messazes of fricndship and hope for thc peoples behind the Iron Curtains
By thus takings the offensive and putting the Communists on notice that this
is a great expression of wuinimity on the part of the American pesplic —

any attempt on the part of the Communists to deprecate or interfere with

the program would lend itself to psychological warfare usc, This coincides
with General Clay's statement in his letter of February lith to the various.
state chairmen.

We aré not underestimating the magnitude of such an operation here or abroad.
To pain the maxinun psychological benefit, at least 100,000 balloons chow
be used. It could be a hardehitting demonstration of the effectiveness of
the Crusade for Frocdone

Every nmenmbcr of the Crusade staff, includin; the ficld organisation, hopes
that this idea may be approved. Sccing the balloons in thcir hore toms and
knowing that their messages could reach the peoples behind-the Iron Curtain
should inspire millions ef Amcricans to suppers the campaign financially ane
would serve to renind them constantly throughout the campaig of the tre=
mendous accomplishnents achieved during the Inst two yoars as a result of
their personal contributions, ‘

It is most important that we secure positive and unaltcroble clearance of
this idea within the next ten days, .

1. I om attaching tuo manoranda having to do with HCFE on

whieh it ie umiecessary for you to take action. ‘hey point never~

theiess to the inevitable difficulties we have in dealing with large

and neccessarily somashat autononous organisations cach as HCFZ and

CYA. tears, as you know, charged by directive with exercising

contre. over thess organizations, and tho menoranda indicate that

walntaining this control io a difficult day-toeday job requiring

conaiderable tact and determination as woll as efficiency and a
; higts airit of cooperation. In both NGFE and CFA there is a pride
: in independence which ought to be oncouragod, but there is also a e
‘ eense of irritation wlth having to inform anyone in Washington about
onytaing end the tendency to regard anyons below the level of Ganeral
faite and poureelf (and with HCFE, Mr. bisner) ag in tue way.

2. with NCFE, tia irritation probably goes back to another
era. 221 Fead the history, tho operation at that time vas a backe
stopring operation pure and simple, and I taink it was not an
efficest ones certainly it had no respect in New York. ke have
worked hard to resolve past tansles, to make our relatlonanips
orderly «nt clean, and’eventually to move to the point at wich it
may be possible te do moro than backstop. I do not mean that wa
have ony fapreceion that it ts pousitle to run these large organisa-
tions from sashington, but 1 have rad in mind te build taa kind of
Divicion and to get the kind of people uho would of their om
abllities and efficiency de respectad in a manner wiien wuld enable
then to <ive guidance and real help in the field of ideas and pollay
eco rcinatien.

3. %e now havo Bill Durkee, Ranons Brown and Cord Meyer aa

eulties.w-ieh the nomwranda indicate, providing we have firm

he On 10 June, Alan Valentine remarked to Emions Brow that
you had agreed that I ebould be robuked for my letter to him of
22 May. ‘This was an unsolicited coment from Valentine, and. Brow,
made no reply. ‘

5s. I have gone over the record of letters to and from Valentine
since ho assumed his duties and I have aloo carefully gone over the: _
récord of all the-activities wich CFA has undertaken on witch lialeon,
baekstopping and poliaqy guidance from ug were involved, and I find to
my own satisfaction that we nave dons an offeotive job for Valentine.
I find memoranda and records indicating that 1 have en ooveral occas
sions, a3 in the letter to which he referred, asked for hio coment
and criticioa and assured him that my sgcle purposs was to be helpful
to him in doing hia job. I would be glad to go over these records .
with you. Despite this, however, Valentine hag told mo that noither — :
Brow nor I are high level enourh for him to talk to and that in tho ‘
future he will get his poliay guidance directly from you or fron
! General Smith.

6. At my express suggestion Valentine bogmm writing letters to

: you. I realised that he wags a difficult person and I knew that writing
. to you and receiving letters from you would give him the sense of '
‘ importance that he wantéd. Whon he wrote you, however, to protest my :
: appointuent of Eamons Brown as “xeoutive Officer of the 1.) Division

and to suggest to you personnel arrangements in 10 that should, in

the first instance at least, and in any spirit of friendly cooperation

have been mads to mo, it seared to me that I ought to be fairly firme

- I do not think my letter in reply was in error. Fven if it was, I

think you should have backed me up on ite If 1 make mistakes, you

ean fire me. Until you do fire ne, you ought to back me. Aa matters

pow stand, you have put ge in a position where, in dealing with the

eituation I have tried to outline above, I shall have greater diffi-
culty than before.

Te I have thought about all of this carefully and foel it right
to tell you that I think you let me down.

SRLGRANDUM FO: DEPUTY UL RECTOR (PLANS)
HEC! ~ Project TPIOMC

1. On 18 April 1952 the Projact iteview Comaltton recommondod
to the DCE approval of Project TMC calling for the payment of
£138,991 to tho Crucade for Freedom for 1953. As a rider to its
recommondation for approval of the project, tha Comiltteo made the
fcllowing provision: that a consulting fina be employed by CIA at -
a concultant!s fee to investigate the Crusade opnration, both from
tae standpoint of substance and adininistration with particular

attention to cost.

2. Tio proviso was made at the instance of Mr. Hedden, Inspector
General. I argued at this meeting that since tho Crusade itself was
a funderaising agency and cmployed another fund-raising agency to help
4t, the employment of a third Nund-raising agency ay convul tant was
comparable to placing an advorticing contract with N. W. Ayer and
then placing another contract with Young ~ hubicam to investigate
B. W. Ayer's conduct under the contract. Mr. Heddon inalated in
response that this was reasonable business practice and his view

carried the day.

3. Several weeks ago, with all the tact that I could muster,
I conveyed to Admiral tiller, the President of CTE, my intention to
exploy the firm of Harold Oram or some other funderaising, a,ency or
Andividual whom he might care to suggest as a consultant to me and
tee Crusade operation. Admiral Miller said he would like time to

trink about this.

4. With kindly intent but considerable firmness, Admiral iiiller
told me on 3 June that after thinking it over he had decided that if
this step were taken he would resign as President of NCFE. He weat
on to say that he had taken this job at our request and because he
iad been told that we placed confidence in him to run an efficient
eperation. He had worked hard trying to make the operation efficient;
ce had particularly noted that the Crusade was not run according to

renee,

his standards of efficiency; he had made sevoral chancos in the
Crusade and was about to make moro; he had himself eaployed people
whom he rogarded as expert who were responsible to him to give him
advice on tho Crusado problem -and ho simply could not tolerate a

. Bystem of ingpection which was not responsible to him; if we had

any lack of confidence in him as an officlent manager, he would be
clad to retum to his former employment imuedLately.

5. Wo discussed the whole problem in friendly tcrms for cane
ten minutes and it waa apparent that nothing I could say would alter
his poaition. I therefore-ceascd to press him. ~

6. May I have a decision as to whether higher authority wishes
te take this up with Admiral Miller or whothor tho FRC wishes to

: MEMORANDUM FOR: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR POLICY OOORDINATION

ere SUBJECT: National Committee for a Free Europe

i 1. I am naturally disturbed by the report which has reached

: me as to your attitude on the National Comittee for a Free Europe,

as expressed to the Inspector General at a meeting last week which
I was unable to attend because of absence from the city.

2. This attitude, as described to me, was that you knew very
little about NCFE but that you had the general impression that it
was rather loosely handled from an administrative and policy control
standpoint. I do not wish to go into tae nistcry of NCFE control by
CIA and be accused of casting aspersions on its nandling in the past.
I do think, however, that your allegations may te correct so far as
the past is concerned.

3. As of the present, however, I want you to know that
Mr. Durkee and I, with very able assistance from members of
Mr. Durkee's staff, are doing our level best to set up agreed upon
procedures for administrative, financial and policy control and
reporting. With the best objectivity I can muster, I think that
your responsibility over the National Comittee for a Free Europe
is now being ably discharged,

4. I would like at your convenience to go over the new
L arrangements that have been made and to bring you completely up
to date on the activities of the Committee, as well as to get your
J\ instructions as to a system of making such periodic reports to you
\ in the future. This briefing mght well take the form of a prelimn-

_ inary budget review and I sugsest that the division heads of NCFE
might be brought down to make progress reports to you in the briefing
room. I am hopeful that after such a meeting you will feel not only
conversant with the present arrangements and activities of the
Comittee but that they will, with modifications you may wish to

i sugrest, havo your full approval, and, that consequently you will
wish to make some statement at an early staff meeting indicating
your satisfaction with these plans. Otherwise, I very much fear
that the prevalont attitude within OFC wich is one of general

sdissatisfaction with NCrE based largely on inadequate understanding
of what the Committee is doing may prejudice the work that with your
concurrence I brought BL11 Durkee here to do.

Free Europe Univergity Students

1. We approciate receiving the informtion on the two Albanian
students now attending the Free Kurcope University at Strasbourg which
was forwarded in references

2. We have now roceived a re;cort from the field which indicates
that Koste Xhajanka is connected with the Albanian Legation in Paris.

30 We would like very much to know the background of this man's
acceptance at the Free Europe Univergity, including how and where his
application was made; whether hie acceptance was on the basis of hia
scholastic record alene or on the basis of recommendations; if the
latter, whose; and any other details available. It would be appreciated

if you could inquire into this matter for us.

4. Since requesting that favorable consideration be given to
the application of Ramis Qira, we have received arcrport which in-
dicates that he too has becn connected with the Albanian IS. It is
requested that steps be taken to ensure that his application be dis-

approved.

5S. It hag also been reported that a Kalem Golemi, also covertly
employed by the Albanian Legation in Faris, has applied for adnission
to the Free Europe University.

6. All of these reports anpear to indicate that an effort is
being made by the Albanian Government to place their arents in the
Free Europe University. If this is true, no doubt other satellite
countries will follow the same policy. It is sugrested that the
authorities of Free Europe Univercity be warned and advised to screen
carefully the students being admitted and to refuse admission to
people about whom there is any question,

MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION i

PRESENT” Mrs We Je Scrippa, Detroit News _ ‘
Dre Allan - :
tr. Sorns :

after arrenging au appointmont through his cousin, Senator Moody,
Mr. Scripps callud on the Director to discusa his proposal for a -
S3riendship Balloon Lift." Certain materials rulating to this progosal
had previously been transmitted to the Director by rir, Allen Dulles,

In reply to questioning, 4r, Scripos asserted that he was well
acquainted with the SCFs winds of freedom caupaign, in wich he had
participated, but that he had not discussed his present proposal with
MCF, tie said he had talked tu many American business men, wno vere
sll entimssastic and were prepared to donate the variety of products
which he proposes snmould be included in the payloads. He said that his
fathor was an ardent supporter of the project, along with a Ar, Fleteher,
Vice ?rasident of the Caterpillar Tractor Company and Ur. Harnett,

Hr. Fletcher spent sone tice in Russia, he said, hen asked whether
Caterpillar was in the balloon business, ir. ccripps said no.

Other names mentioned by Mr. Scripps as being familiar with bis .
proposal included Nick Naradi, identified as an exeninister of the
Hungarian Governzent; Frank Jewitt of General “lls (which holds a
balloon research contract with the Uffice of Naval ‘tesearch), who has
given his a letter to an adairaly an Admiral <illers; and a Mr. *rank
of CIA. (se0 below) Hr. Scripps also mentioned a ‘Paychological squipe
ment Development Office Icestsd in the old Post Uffice building,

(see below)

Mr. Serippe was troubled by security problaus, It was apm rent
that he felt he had obtained confidential information from cartain govern-
ment sources which he could not disclose. At the sane time, he stated
that in orcer to work out hie proposal in any detail, he would neod
access to information presently denied hin, fherefore, ne suggested
that he be cleared tor security by tne appropriate agencye

As a result, it proved impossible to nail down the technical
aspects of Mr. Seripse' proposal, In hia formal presentation, he had
@escribed a balloon capable of carrying a 0-pound payloed ami costing
$5. In bis conversation, he mentioned a vehicle capable of carrying
300 to 800 pounds, together with a stagrored release nechsnisa--without

price, To questions as to whothor either type was in existence, Mtr.
Serippe replied that he waa bound by confidences, In general, however, *
he did not foresee any technical barriors, .

7 . la

When asked how he would finance his proposal, Ar. Scrippa said
that he would begin with private contributions, with. the thought that
oventuslly the program would be taken over-by the govesnmant. le laid:
stregs.on the neod for early organisation (deg. fund raising, balloon
stockpiling, crew training, selection of leunching sites) in onter th
operatiuas could ba started immediately following s decision as to
desirability. He stated that 90 days would be sufficient to prepare ©
for operations, once he got the "green light".

Dr. Allen expressed his pursonal interest in the proposal, but
Peminded Hr. Scripps that Poil's field was strategic rather than operas
tional, and that in an operational proposal of such complexity, PCB
could only give the matter a cursury review. Therefore, Lr. Alien stated
hie intention to forward the propusal to the Psycholoyical Uperations
Coordirsting Committesa, whico was the proper boay to give the project
the detailed screening to which Lt was entitled. vr, Allen also suge
gested that Hr, Scriypa see C. D. Jackson, .

Mr. Norderg then suggested that as an edditional aid Mr, Scripps
prepare a brief but fairly specific deseriptioa of what he parsonally
was prepared to do, along with an outline of te organization which would
be nesded to carry out the project. Hr. Scripps said that he wuld do
80 within tho noxt week.

COMMANE

_ Joe Frank, when asked about Hr. Scripoa, said he had met hin several
tiaes between Decenber 1950 and February, 1951. During this periat of
early planning for balloon operations, Mranx eaid that Seripps proved
quite halpful by quieting curtain private ent:usiasts, in aidition to

f, a discreet silence hinself, Frank aid not kuow for a fact

NCFE EXILE Pinc OUI. SLLECTION IN HeLATION TO
(1) EXit2 POLITICS,

(2) RPE HAUADCAGT POLICY, AND

(3) bXPLwisL CuITICISM

I-
Hr RQUISTORY HISTORY

fornative Stage

At ite Lxception, the National Comittee for a Free Lurope
belteved that its Iron Curtain broadcasting operation, kadio Pree
Zurope, could and sheila be developed and pursusd through the medium
of "National Councils® or "Comittees of Liberation" composed of
exile groupe from tne target countries, It was conaidered that
prominent exile leaders ari personalities of eacn nationality group
could express to their captive countrymen, entirely without sAnerican
advice and guidance, tie messege of hore which NCP proposed to send.
This concept was not fa:filled. Experience in attenpting to weld a-
talented, dedicated group of exiles into a non-partisan broadcasting
operation early deconstratec tnat without Anerican control the mission
of KFE would be lost is %:< jungle of extle-world politics, It soon
becase evident that the leaserstip among the exiles wae neither suffle

elently strong nor persozally willing to rise above tiie political cross

currents, factional rivalries, and splinter-group weaknesses character=

istically reminiscent of the political affairs of all Lastern Luropean

countries,

These factors ciliteted against tne original plan of pernitting

14-00000

exiles, through their loosely oryanized Councils or Committees, to
wholly develop, manage, and contrcl RFE broadcasting. :

Since the advent of RFL was tne most iaportant development
affecting the exiles wich iad occurred since their flirht fro: home,
ther quickly understood and applauded its implications and potential
effect on their futures, Tnrourh this instrument they could once
again become prominent and powerful in the affairs of the homeland;
ence sore they could contend for place and power,

Sslection of personnel for the purpose at hand quickly becane
@ political football of rival leaders, personalities, and groups.
Richtists, Leftists, Centrists, Labor Elements, and Splinter-groupa
argeed with us for advancenent of their particular personal or political
views. Sponsorship of their own adherents as RFE exployees through whow
such views would be broadcast to their captive countrynen becane the
pattern of thei: pseudo cooperation, This pattern was followed ‘to such
an extent that ordinary progress and sensible development of our basic
parpose of truly free broadcasts under exile control soon appeared to
be not only impracticable, but dangerous. For exacple, the National
Counelis Division atlLeupted to inaugurate broadcasts to Czechoslovakia
under the ausvices of a Czechoslovak National Couneil, The Counetl was
aud ts zade up of exile personalities of differin; political views and
parties, Its factions proceeded to enrage in endless disputes and ire
reconcilatle claims for control of script production and propran ‘content.

sought that objective, wnile Czechs desired opposite views to Le aired
— and advocated the rebirth of pre-war Czeshoslovakia. Lach group sponsored
and insisted uoon employment of its own more or less qualified adnerents
upon the assucption that its special views would te thereby expressed ©
to the captive Czeciioslovak audience of RFL, Similar activities were
pursued by Hungarians » Bulgarians, and Poles until the futility of per-
mitting the exile Councils to control the destiny and broadcasting
policies of RFE was made clear beyond refutation. [t becane tragically
obvious that uncontrolled exile-world Councils and professional poli~
ticians could not agree on personnel selection or program content,

‘In spite of every effort to induce harmony in and obtain proper
Cooperation from the "Councils", "“Comalttees", and individuals, RFL was
confronted with an inpasse. The alternative ti.eory and present policy
of American selection of non-political exile personnel was the only way
out. It has worked, Technically qualified personrel produce properly
oriented prorrazs -- and have beer, doing so with docurented success
since July, 1950. Disappointed exile politicians, professional exile
camp followers, disturbed American special pleaders, and alarned Coxmnist

Agents all scream, snipe and snivel —- but Rrt procrams are doing the job,

NCFE-RF5 records of this stare can be supplied by Frederic R,
Dolbeare, Vice-President, Nationai Councils Division, and Robert E. Lang,
Director, RFE, The current policy has the complete endorsement of these

‘ officers and of the Board of Directors of NCFE,

Development Stage

Upon the collapse of the original concept of broadcasting under
exile auspices, RFE necessarily utilized soze exile »ersoniel endorsed
and recornended by the leaders of the various nationality ;roups. As
technical radio facllities ease Into Lelng, exiies with radio background
or writing talent were reyured for the production of progranse, This
involved using individuals euinently qualified ty experience to do a
vadio job of script writing, announcing, acting, etc. without regard
for the fact that such individuals wight be at odds with one or another
political faction or leader of an exile "Council", It also involved
elimination of proven inefficient, inept or unworthy Individuals without :
regard for their exile "Council" sponsorship. In either instance crit-=

icism of RFE was predictable and indeed was always forthcoming <= often

in virulent acd dishonest fors.

The day to dey operation of RFE developed new techniques and

long range plans wiich made it {:. possible to e:ploy non-entities of no

harmony with NCFE@RFE purposes and policies necessarily were persons
known in their own countries for their views on domestic political af-
fairs and their anti~omminist activities, Hard-hitting propaganda
required hard-hitting personalities whose known association with RFE
and its prograzs would add validity and sigaifieance for our captive - . “
audiences, Gradually, therefore, the nationality desks of RFL at New .

York and Municn were staffed with tested, qualified exiles wio iad been

ddontified publicly with do:eotic political philosophies at issue in
their om countries. Many, in fact most of the staff pecple ure con-
troversial figures anon their ows countrymen in exactly the sane way
that prominent Americans are controversial fn our political arena. Many
dadeed aro members of tie Councils, but are men of sufficient stature

to give their primary aliegianca to the non-partisan policy of RFE, The

decisive factor 1a that there be no controversy or question about their

anti-Commnist convictions and records,

At this point, 1t mot be noted that our target countries have

been subject to repetitive political ferment prior to and fcllowing : e

World war II, as well as the successive occupations of Nasi and Communist

Tbe eee te

Arnies,

The temper of the tines, therefore, in which these exiles have
lived for the past fifteen years as been one of excitement, bitterness,
.recrimination, rivalries, and personal turmoil -- all sterming fro. both
dosestic and foreign atrug,les for power, The tines have produced a
bumper crop of refugee traitors, collaborators, and opvortunists and at

the saze time have developed pure Weetarn style democrats, true national '
patriots, and unselfish honest wen, The exile who stood by placidly :

In the execution of this polley individuals » o were useless were
eliminated without regard {or political sponsors. Thie process atill
goev on. Sintlarly, talented exile personnlities recruited fro. any
source were employed wherever needed. This process etill goes on.

Both processes are in vorue with a healthy disregard tor exile political
nuances--and protests, Neither process ia satisfactory to self. styled ;
exile leaders, since it follows that the eppointment of an individual
aponsored by one faction aa a representative of its views inevitably

will evoke howls of rage and criticis:, fro: the opposite faction. This

Our formative and development experiences evolved the present

many talented refugees who need employwent and ®.o can supply RFi's
need for script writers, actcrs, announcers, etc, Accordingly, desk
staffing has been accomplished by exaidning the qualifications of duly
recormaended individuals, whether the recomendations come from political
personalities or otherwise. Seleotion is based on the ability of the
individual to fill a need efficiently in turning out or participating
dn planned: progra:s, Recruitzent is detemained unly by ideolorical
eecurity, independence of exile politics, and personal ability,- This
4s not to say that many individual exiles having decidod personal con=

positive statement is made that those exile employees now produce

RFE progravs refleot the policies and puidance of RFE rather than pro=

motion of partisan objectives and personalitias,

Recruitrent ~~ Detailed Procejures

The personnel cozplexent of each RFE nationality desk is
founded on a hard core of dependable individuals, usually two or three
people, including the chief of tha desk, "Dependability" 1s established
by exhaustive inquiry at all available sources to establish tue desire
ability, reliability, technical proficiency and security of the working

core of the desk. Sources used are?

(a) Exile political personalities in the United States,
(b) Exile references of hign standing and known ine
partiality in the United States and Overseas,
(ce) Overseas contacts and personal knowledge of our
American representative in Lurope (Royall Tyler-Paris),
(d) Cheeks and balances of our political advisor at
Munich (Web. Griffith),

(e) . British Broadcasting Corporation, where applicable,

(f) Voice of Anericn, where applicable,

(g) Special confideitial sources,

these tests having been applied, confidence 4a plaq yin these

initial personalities, and particularly in the Desk Chief, to carry
forward recruitment of additional personnel ao needed dn collaboration
with the American Director of HPL (Robert E, Lung, New York) and his
associate officials, The leadiny personalities of each deak know what
is expected of then and.since they respond to the established criteria,
the resulting full personnel co:pleuent ia a group of exiles who, not~

withstanding thelr personal political views, are suitable and capable

program production people, They meet our basic requirement of dally

production of truly free and properly constructed propaganda broadcasts

capable of evoking the widest possible audience response in our tar; et
countries, |

In brief, the mission of RFE be:npg conceived as a iarketing
problen, the best available ssleszen are procured, trained, and utilized

to sell the xarket.

Recruitment -- Special Security Measures

Since RFE, although a private enterprise, 14 by extension a
collateral instrument of American national policy, special precaution
is exereised to insure the ideoloyical security of all employees, ine

eluding exiles, In the case of exile personnel specifically, the

The Personnel Director of NCFL utilizes Appropriate and de-
pendable sources of information to deternine the acceptability of
personnel fro:.. e security standpoint. liis sources are investigative in
mature and are conclusive as to the ideolorical record and security)
acceptability of the proposed em loyee, In doubtful cases the Personnel
Director consults with the Vice-President in Charge of the National
Gouncila Division and with the Director of Radlo Free Luropo, These
trree officera of NCFE jointly follow a policy of rejecting candidates
about who there ila the olightest dout. It is to be clearly undereteod
that in making decisions of this kind the conflietin, interests and
frantic representatilons of politicallyenini-si exile leadera and groups

are ignored, Acceptance or rejection of ca.uidates is wholly based on

HFE POLICY GUIDMICE POR PLiGONMEL

A. General Comment :
.

The prorramo aired by APE are not left to whim or chance, All
program and tho ‘personnel responsible for thes are controlled by a
written policy nanual. The manual sets forth in minute detail the
; position and policy of is'E on every topic beared t. our target countrlea,
. The marual 1s the dally puidance of all employees, both American and
Exile; deviation from ity rules is not paricitted. Cuntinuous scrutiny
of manuscripts and resultant broadcasts te maintained by American en~

ployecs to insure that there are no deviations.

The policy manual of KFE represents the considered views of
the responsible officials, including the Bourd of ULrectors, of NCFE,
It is a statement of the principles and purposes of KUFE expressed in
operational form. It 1a considered and maintained as strictly core

fidential document, but it is of course available for examination by any ny

proper authority,

The policy manual is in strict conformity with current American

national policies as evidenced by tie following quotation fro. Article ves

Ones
“Ag a non-rovernnental radio station resporsible to :
the millions of American citizens who suppory it,
RFE cannot take a line contrary to Unitea 3tates
Government policy or to tue beliefe of tne Averican
peoplo reflected in the Constitutio:: of the United -
States and in American Institutions.". °

B.

The above quotation is understocd by exile personnel pare .
ticularly to be a solemn iniunction apainst ideolo;leal prograa content
which in any way violates the letter and spirit of American policy and
ideals. It isa guarantee te the, dAnerican people and to our captive
listeners ‘that RFE and the men who make ity prograns are uncompromisingly

opposed to the Communist regizes now in power in Soviet Russia and the

satellite countries,

RFS Policy Defined by ilandbook (Direct Quotations)

1. The purpose of RFL is to contribute to the liberation of
the Nations imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain by sustainin; their
morale and stimulating in thea a spirit of non-cooperation with the
Soviet-dominated regimes by which they are, for the tice being, ruled.

2. The central characteristic of RFE is that it is the in-
atrunent of men who are engared in fighting for freedom and justice,

As such, it encourafes resintance to every tyrant, great and small, in
the countries it addresses, Itsspeakers speak «= as men of good will
whe seek to contribute to the elinination of old enmities and the
building of an enduring Eurcoean decocratic order,

3. Asa free forum in w.ich exiles speak to tueir own poeple
RFE {s particularly dedicated to argumenta by wiich exiles seex to
persuade their listeners of al) devourin, ambitions of Soviet

Izperlalisn, the cruelty and unworkability of Comminist Institutions,

and the proven advantages of the denvcratic way of life for the worker,
and the peasant, the adininistrator, and the business and professional
strata of society,

, he RFE, takes counsel with exile leaders and is respectful
of their views, but its policy fs not designed to further the aspira~

tions of 6:y single exile leader or party.

5. RFE nolicy is further based upon acceptance of tre prin-
ciple that each of the liberated peoples shall be free to deternine ,
for itself the political and social inatitutions under which it will -
live once it has been liberated,

6. Finally, the followins summary in the nature of a specific
limitation on program content is quoted:

"It is indispensable thit all concerned grasp clearly
that RFL is a multj-national station established to
: contribute to the liberation of all the peoples it
‘ : addresses, and not merely of one of those peoples,
: : RFE policy is therefore commanded by the limitation
' : that nothing may be sald over its facilities to one
. national audience which will destroy the confidence
dn RFE of its other audiences or which is likely to
induce any of its audiences to prefer communist rule
to a liberation which ight apnear to promise dorina~
tion by a neishboring people,”

the Fund places on expediting tha arrival of Gensral
Honnyoy in this country for Fund purposes. I Later
mentioned this matter in detail to one of your Liaison |

associates who has these matters in hand. I explained -

that it is considered imperative that all possivic as-

sistance be developed looking toward the sponsored ar-

rival of General Hennyey in tha shortost possibie time. 4
I now refer you to our letter of March 2, 1952, which I

delivered in person to Mr. Abramson. That letter con-

tains ail of the necessary data for action in tha case.

Mees TE

We have just been informed that the unconsclonable
delay in the processing and approval of General Hennyey's ‘
entry presently will be made the subject of public pro- .,
test by elements of the Hungarian National Council. :

The details of this situation will be more fully explain-

ed by Leonard L. Stamm who will hand you this letter.

For your convenience, I am attaching a copy of our

letter of March 2 above cited, and I would further state

that wa believe that extraordinary action should be

taken to affect the immediate proces:iing of General :
Nennyey by entry permit or otherwise. Our reprezenta- ‘
tives in Munich are in daily contact with General
Hennyey and can be of particular assistance in the event
you desire to use extraordinary means to expedite his
departure for the United States.

Dear Mr. Minette: . : : ro! .
- General Gusstav Hennyey is Representative of the Huncarian National
Council in Western Germany and a persen in whom ‘the Fund places trust and
i confidence in ity dealings with the problems of the Hunzaritan Naiianal
: Council. The Fund has beon desirova for sony time that General Hennycy
: come te the United States, and believes that his visit here would be most
helpfid to the present activities and future of the Hungarian National

i Council. :

‘ An opportunity presented itself last fall for General Hennyey to
; amizrate to the United States ag a displaced parson. He was granted a : q
visa by the Consul General in Munich on November 21, 1951, BC Number 25621,
D.P. Commission Validation Number A-/037, Sponsor Mr. Louis Rado, 15? Main
Street, Poughkeepsie, New York. Subsequent to the issuance of his visa
his file was sent by the local representative of the U. S. Immigration
and Naturalization Services in Munich to the Office of the Attorney Gen-
eral in Washington for special consideration under Noe 3-CFR'17557. '
“4 Neither General Hennyey nor the National Council have been able to deter-
: - mine why his case has been held in suspense, by the Immigration and Natar-
‘alization Service. Indeed, in response to one inquiry Genaral Hennyey
was told that the file in question hai been lost. Ags stated above, the
Fund attaches great importance to General Hennyey's visit to the United
States, and considers this visit to be of hish operational importance,
since it will deeply affect the work of the Hunzartan National Council.
We shail be very grateful for any assistance which you can render in the
expedition of the decision of the Imnigratior and Naturalisation Servica.
IT may add that General Hennyey's visa will expire on the 2ist of this
month, and he also will lose his richts owing to the expiration of the
Displaced Persons Act in the near future should he not be able to emigrate

promptly.

Sincerely yours,

MFMDRANOUM FORs DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE = _
SUBJ RCTs Crusade for Freedon

1. At a meting in John Devine's office at noon on 16 April
at which ware precont Hassrs. Davins, Gaith, Lang, Lanble, Braden
and Admiral Miller, Mr. Sulth presented the progres for the Crusade
for Freedom for naxt year, which I attach. the budget estimate ia
just over $500,000 and the central idea is to campaign acruas the
nation for eignatures and dimes on behalf of a pledge to preserve,
maintain and spread freedom.

2. There are, othor ideas connected with this, namely a freedom
train which will carry the scroll and dimes of the people of tas .
United States from point to point and which eventually will come to
Washingtos where the signatures attached to the scroll will be
paeounied ‘to the naw Congress and the nsw Frosident. Essent‘ally,
however, and-in terms of our relations with the State Departaent,

the program is intended to evoid specific mantion of what tho money
ia being roleed for; thus, for example, there will be no publicity
adout wiat tranomitters cost and how important it is to raiso ths
money. Instead, the campaipen wlll be kept vary general and AFZ~HFA
and YOA wild be mentioned only incidentally as one means of spreading
the idea of freedon.

3. Mr. Devine presented the program to Messrs. Sargeant, Kohler
and Compton and received their approval. I have thereforo notified
Adairal Hiller that there is no objection o2 behalf af the State
Departaent to the plan preeanted for the 1953 Crusade for Freedoa.

MEMORANDUM TOR: DEPUTY DIRECTIN CLNTHAL INTELLIGENCE

SUBJECT: © Leon Dennen

2. Ye proviued for Ison Dennen $71,000 for tho period 1 August
__.... 161 te 30 dune 1952 for a project to be operated by FCF in Europe,
. (Denman did not, as I understand it, agsume bis work in iwropa until
e@. 1 Detober 1951.) The $71,000 included an allotment of $6,000 for
ten monthly payments of $600.00 for special intelligence activities.
Otis reoontly informed us, however, thet of the $600.00 per month
allotsents, Dennen had asked for and received a total of only $250,00

all told.

2. On 2 April, Admiral Miller stated that Dennen's work vas
absolutely worthless es far ae KCFE and KFL were conoernsa,

Dennen's intelligence reporte have boen evaluated as having
Practically no usefulness; and, as you knov, in hie intelligence
®gathering", ho has crossed some of Hu's vires. In both Oi and
O50, there is such suspicion of Dennen, that no one has boon willing
to give him direct guidance for foar that it vould merely anlargo

Dannan'a knovledge of our opereticns.

3. When Dennen returns, my recommendation ta that we tell him
that while w may discontime suport to the International Confederation
of Free Trade Untoniste in kxile, va foel that, since ve have a Perlis
RCFE representative, we should uee this channele-or somo other. channel

not involving additional expense,

4. Meanwhile, since the ICFTU in exile is of prinary interest
to ES, and of some intercet to SE ani hE, I have asked Mr. Brose, Mr.
Horton, and Hr, Scott their views on continued support to the organization
and, after a go-round with them, I will send up a further roport to you, °

Mr, Virolam called at his ronuset to inforr us of the high
lights of his revent trip to burope, flo hai first attended the
peoting of the Eestern Evropran Section of the Burerean Movement
in Lonion, then vielted Franoo, O:rmany and Italy. —

. Me, Viroiem said that in Germany ho had tal»ed «ith Chance) lor
Adenausr, Secretary of State Hallatein, and other officiala of the
Bonn Government, as well as with Mr, Rober and othe> Allied officlala,
He said that the Germans were rympathetic to hia discussion of
Tamanian affaires and showed some intercat in the vroblens of Eastern
Europs. They, emphasized, however, that Germany's present position
Gid not enable then: to apeak in terme of any positive rolloy at this
time, Mr, Visolem got the impression that the Ge-mans vere now, and
would be in the future, even more actively interested in Rumania . ;
apd other Eastern Lurcpean countries than were France and Italy. '
Mr, Vieoiany felt that F. ance had completely abdicated its position
in Eastern burojs and was entirely wrapped up in its ow domostie — -
problems and relations with Germany.

Me, Viseolarm also discussed in Gurmany the cuestion of Rumanian
refugees there (gost of vhom aro Iron Guardists) and of the rather
Jergo community of Yolksdeutscha who came to G from Rumania at
the close of the war. lle said that the Gorman authorities vould
liko to have this group returned to Kumania at such tine as tho
country might be literated, both buosuse they contrituted to Germany's
overpopulation problem and because they vould repreesst, as they
have in the past, a poseiblo instrument for German policy in Rumania.
As a Rumantan, Mr. Vicolam: waa not over amcious to adi to the mmbera
of the German minarity but folt that a free Rumanian Goverment vould
not deny the right of return to thoes who wiehed to do s0.

Mr, Vieolan talked at longth vith Mr. Tyler in Ssris. Ho .

Thio ie one of those things that questions will always |

of refugees coming into Greece from certain countries. Landowski waa not
intograted into RYZ; he vas associated with RS under a contractual arrange-
ment meant to provide him with a reasonable explanation for his income and

2. Tho relationship was not a successful one for osveral reasons:

a Landowski hinself was poorly suited for the assignment, and
did not bring the necessary experionce and akill required to maintain
emooth working relations with RYE.

b. Fho Landowski assignment was not, in fact, compatible with
RYA's decision to station a regular etaff officer of ite own in
Athens. Since the functions of the tyvo men appeared to overlap to
an unreasonable degreo, both vere put in an awkward position.

6. RYE is not organised or designed to maintain covert relation=
ships with contract agenta notionally asscclated with it.

a. The Mlaicon between CIA/opcs and RYE was not, during the period
under consideration, fully satisfactory in this inatance. Quite uinor

Ddetween the two organisations.

on 2$ Joly 1950. He fe now 33 yeare old, The PC Field Station wiahed to
wee him as a contract agent under cover in Greece, engaged principally fa
PY work and in reoruiting and handling other agonts. The clearance was
granted on 30 Hay 1951, and on 15 June Landowaky signed a contract in Athens.
2. The field diepatch outlining Landowsky's capndtlities and the work
envisegod for him decoribed him ae a freeslanco journalist, restdent of
Qreees for several yeare (hie mother was marricd to a Greok), familiar with
the Greek language aad fluent in Polish and German, and having cortain oon=

tacts in Greek governzent circles. His success in interviewing refugeca

from tha satellite countries had come to the station's notice, and it was
belfoved that under cover of such intorviews he vould bo useful fin gathering
material for propaganda use and in spotting ais recruiting agentes.

3. The Mold station angzented that a cover organisation be eatabe .

that o Mr. Phenix of 37% agreed to the contractual relationship proposal,
Dut wished 1¢ made glear that RYH would act give cover to Lanéowski in the
guico of & rogular RYB employee. This was understood and agreed to by this
office.

b, Durtng Landowski's covert trataing ta Vaehiagton, 1n July and
August, the Comercial Division was coneulted regardiag the various aspects
of creating a fictitious corporation, Burepo Yews Serviso, along the lines .
outlined above. Tho diffleultice of legal tacorporation and of maintaining
plausible US headquarters for such a firm, socording to the Comercial

. Myfaton, made thie inadvieable. It was therefore decided, after consulta=
tion with the Legal Division, that a pareonal contract botweon Landowaki,
supposedly representing the “Huropp Bewe Service,” and RYE would be sufficient
and would obviate the risks of building a aover firm out of nothing.
§. Dartng a orief conversation between Mr. Lang of BFE and dE/PO"s
ease officer for the Landowsk! matter, the following points were covered:
Nr. Lang was partionlarly intorosted in waethor Landowakt could actually
provide useful material te RFX, and wae told that this was the case. Mrs .
lang said tho desired contract could be arranged serely by his requesting
4% at an Exesutive Comalttee mooting of HCH. Ina ancver to an inquiry, Mr.
> Lang said no standard RFF contract form oxteted, Yat that in draving the
Landewaki contrast he vould wee the nonconaittal phrasing of the BF3/Pree
Federation of Journalists contract, ia water a definite monthly payment vas
stipulated without any mention of specific retaras fros VFS (which, My. Lang

eaid, is a sudeidd od erganisatian). He wea roassuring as to whether RYB's

accounting mechanism was secure enough to permit Large ($1000) monthly

payments to Landowski without questioning tho oxtent of his services. Mt.
Lang otated that there was no ascurity risk from RFE's internal acoounting
or contrasting procedure. Ho then mentioned that RiE planned to send one
of their own caployess to Athons later, probably "around the end of the
year." Although surprised, since this plan had not beon mentioned to Hrs
Thompson by Hr. Phenix during the original discussion of landowski in July,
the ense officer 6f6 not go further into this, feeling that landowaki would
have three months to eotsdlish hie cover in Athena prior to the arrival of

6. In accoréance vith arrangements made with Hr. Lang, Landewaki

wae inetrveted to report in Xew York for a week's briefing in RFS affairs,

is Czechoslovakia. We can go into Poland and Hungary somewhat lesc efficiently:
If Hungary should be the target, we will precumatily still havo the problem of ie
clearance from the British to launch from their Zone, and failing that should” -
have to back up to our Zone. l ow
ia a

We need an abgolute minimum of threa sonths to prepare a balloon operation; ut
the longer notice the better. A date of epecial significance to the target {. \”
country is perhaps of some slight additional desirability from the psycho- y
logical point of view. It is, however, not essential. From the point of cae
view of our campaign schedule, an initial launching date of about August J “Y
20th would be ideal. This would allow tie story on the operation and its |
effect to become known at the opening of our September campaign. a ees

We have in storage in Munich 50,000 packazes (of two each) of razor blades, Ly -
100,000 zippers, 72,000 packets of needles (five to the packet), and 150,000 ¢ x
cakes of soap (1/2, 3/4 and one ounce sizes). All of the above except a
needles were donations to the Crusade, and the needles were at cost. Ws: A

I would appreciate your getting us as soon as possible a positive ard (oarring 222"
an act of God) irrevocable approval for a tallvon operation into a specified,
target country at a certain date, with agreement in principal on the nature
of the operation =- 1.e.; of an order of magnitude of 60,000 to 75,000
vehicles, bearing the above mentioned materials together with messages. ~ .. °° --

Let us not make this approval in principle (with firm date and target)
contingent on a budget, except in a general way. With an approval in hand,
we can proceed with plans and supply a fairly accurate budget, which will
depend somewhat on such things as whether we can use the P-20 balloons on
hand for the short flight to Prague or waetser we will have to resort to
P-50'e for the longer [light into Foland or from the U.S. Zone of Austria

. Dear Admiral Millers;

This is tn reapect—te the various Labor 3ervica Compantes
made up of Eastern Suropean exiles now existing in Germany,

There have been Polish Labor and Guard Vonnanion ever
since the war and these are what thelr nane implies. There
have been set up, however, within the last yaar Czechoslovak
and Bulgarian Labor Service Companies here. fhese latter two
represent an activity with which our friends are directly in=
volved, I have been informed by them upon my inquiry that
should any reforence be mada by satellite proparanda to
these companies it is desired that in any RF2 comment upon
it that these companies should be treated as being what
their name implies. :

The Czechoslovak Company included both Czecha and Slovaks,
although I. understand that the Slovak Separatists here make
violent efforts to have a separate one for thenselves, .
Bulgarian Company is at present made up almost entirely of
adherents of Dimitrov. ‘urther recruitinz, however, in this

ect is now soine on with a policy of barring both Bulgarian

reap ‘
National Front and Dimitrov followers,

I an also informed by my friends here that active plan~
ning is now under way in respect to the Kersten Amendment,
I should much appreciate it if we could keep informed of any
developments in this respect here for possible use in RFE
broadcasts and for conversations with friends.

1. TI have reed the reference memorandun which I note contains
quite a nunber of racomendsttons for action, some of which apply
to the undersigned.

2. I would like to participate in the Princeton bull session
tut believe it unnecessary for CIA to be represented by so many
people. If Mr. Dulles 18 coing I should prefer to drop out. A
further reason for reluctance cn my part to athend this meeting is
that I have alrcady passed on to the NCFE people interestcd all of
the ideas and information which I have on the principal theme of this
diecussion. I therefore feel that, until after the forthcoming meeting
with the British cr the develosment of the Psychological Strategy Feper,
which 1a being laboriously ground ovt by Admiral Stevens! Ad Hoe
Comittee, I would have nothing new to contribute. However, if Mr.
Dulles is unable to attend end you feel that I should gc, I would be
willing to do so,

3. Concerning your report of Frank Altschul's feeling of
grievance, I should be clad to sign a letter to him if Mr. Dulles
ecreee that I am the proper person to do this. Pending Mr. Dulles?
coreideration of this matter, will you please prepare in draft form
for my signature a friendly letter to Mr. Altschul in which you might
coment upon the fact that NCFE-HPE now represents one of the most
potent weapons in our entire areenal, and following with an acknowledge-
nent of the very ixportant contribution which Mr. Altechul made toward
the development and shaping of this instrument.

with Mr. Dulleo and Aduiral Miller, I wae under the impression
that you were trying to dig up aume other forms of cover = par-
ticularly in view of tho reluctance of the NCF£ Board to extend ;
the Crusade cover to the Kirk Comittee. Perhaps this paracreph .

Tho Punctdone of RCFE and RFU

In our emertence whith NOPE and RFE two interpretations of their
functions, between whites the pondulwa swinge from time to tise, have

dovelopad. One which Lu set forth in the wsper in the 2i2cLon of

-HCPE and RFE, pives divnity and importance to tie Nationa: Guncils as

the leadorship orsans of the sastorn Guropian peoples in tueir strugyle
arainst the respective Communist dictatorsuip. and defines we principal
funetion of HPE as providing a way of communication between taese :
councils and the nonelands in conducting tue Liberation etr-egrle. In
the other view, which tends to rovern RFE operations ab the precent
time, the hfA 45 apparantly considered a nredomtnantly Averiean
enterprisa wita the objective of achieving a bigeor, hetter, sore hard-
hitting, and more publicized prevaranda prorsran than the 714 Lut not
differtne funiamentally from the character and course that JOA has
already marked out. ‘The latter interpretation reduces tie position of
extles connectyd with the RFE to that of orofesuional expinyess engared
uy tho Americans, and tho flational Councils are given a cleeet

responsLbiiitles,.

As between thece two theses, “" agrees senerally wits. we first.
If RF ecntinues alony its present course it will in cur opinion btecane
in the end simply another VCA (in fact the provraniing of une two
organizations tends already to seek a comson Cenominator) end disappoint
the exiles and tne peoples in their homelands. This will leat to
competitive issues with VOA as is already tne case wlta tre caltle
lanruare programs, If RFE is to achieve its fLret promise anc full
dustification it must become the Voice of hast:rn hLuropean freedom
speaking throurh tne moutns of the Eastern “.uropean leaders t.emeelves.

EE believes that unless the } broadcasts are made in tne name

of the ‘ational Councils and the free oxile lewiers of tastern Turope
Nati

can sneak rerularly to thelr people by tis medium the Naticnal
Couneils will never becouse more ian eraatires of arrested development
and, deprived of the cossitility of realizing one of their xest

‘important funetions, whil preoceury toemselveas wile sterile cvartisan

(2) RFE BROADCAST POLICY, AND

(3) EXTERNAL CRITICISM

INTRODUCTORY HISTORY

A.

Formative Stage

At its incuption, the National Committees for a Froa Europe
believes that its Iron Curtain broadcasting operation, Ratio Free
Europa, could and should bo developad and pursued through the medium
of "National Councils” or "Committees of Liberation” composed of
exile groves from tho targot oountries, It wus considored that
prominen: exile leaders and personalities of each nstionality group
could express to their captive countrymen, entirely without American
Advice asd guidanco, the message af hops whieh NCFS proposed to sond.

This caacert was not fulfilled. Experience in attempting to weld 6.

We eee

talented, dedicated group of exiles into & non-partisan broadcasting
operation early demonatrated that without Ansriean control tie mission
of RFE would de lost in the jungle of oxileeworld politicos, Lt soon

Since tho advert of KFE was the most important development
affecting tho oxiios whieh hed occurred since their flight from hone,
they quickly undoratcod asd applauded its imzlications and potential
effect on their futures. Through thie tratrument they could once
again became prominent and powerful in the effairs of the homoland;

once more they could conten? for place and powor,

Selection of personnel for the purpose at hand quickly became
a political football of rivel leaders, perzonalities, and groups.
Rightists, Leftistso, Centriste, Labor Zlesents, and Splinter-grougs
argued with us for advancezent of their particular personal or political

views. Sponsorship of their own adherents &s RFE employees through whom

such views would be broaccaxt to their captive countrymen became the
pattern of their pseudo couperation. This pattern was followed to such
an oxtent thet ordinary progress and senelule development of our basic
purpose of truly free oroadcaste under exile con'.rol soon appeared to
be not only impracticable, but dangerous, For example, the National
CounclIs Division attempted to inaugurate troadcasts to Czechoslovakia
under the auspioes of a Czecheslovak National Council. The Council was
and is mado up of oxile persoralities of differing political views and
parties. Its factions preceeded to engage in endless disputes and ire

sought that objective, while Czechs desired opposite views to be aired

and adseceted the rebirth of proswar Csechoslovakia. Each group sponsored
and insisted upon employment of its own more or leas qualified adherents
wpoo the sseumption that its special views would be thereby expressed

te the captive Czochoslovak audiexce of RFE. Similar activities wore
pursusd by Hungarians, Bulgarians, and Poles until the futility of per-
mitting the exile Counoila te control the destiny and broaduasting
policies of RFE was made clear beyond refutation, It became tragically

abviouvs thet uncontrolled exile-werld Counoiis and profussional poli

ticiass could not agree on personnel selection or program content.

In spite of every effort to induce harmony in and obtain proper

@ocperation from the *Counoils", "Committoes", and tndividuals, RFE was

eoanfrested with an impasse. The ulternative theory and present polioy

af Awerican selection of non-political exilo personnel was the only way ..
out. It has worked. Technically qualified personnel produce properly
oriented programs =- and have been doing so with documentod success

since July, 1950. Disappointed exile politicians, professional exile
eaxnp follewrers, disturbed Arerican special pleadera, and alaracd Gosmuniat

agents a1] scream, snipe and snive!l -- but RFE programs ure doing the job.

NCFESRFE records of this stage can be supplied by Frederic R.

Delbeare, Vico-President, National Councils Division, and Robert E. Lang,

Director, EFE. The current policy has the complete endorsement of these

officers and of the Board of Directors of NCFE.

Development Stage

Upon the collapse of the original concept of broadcasting under
exile auspices, RFZ necessurily utilized sons exile personne! endeursod
and recommended by the lasders of the various nationality groups, As

technical radio facilities came inte being, exilas with radio background
or writing talont wers required for the production of programs. This .

involved using individuals eminently qualified by oxperionce to do a

radio job of script writing, announcing, acting, etc., without regard

for the fact that such indi viduala might ba porauna non grata wit one
or another political faction or lesder of an oxile "Council". It also
involved elimination of proven inefficlant, inept or unworthy individuals
without regard for their exile “Council” sponsorship. in either instance

eritioiam of RFE was predicteble and indeed was alwaya forthcoming <-«

often in viruleat and dishenest form.

Tho day to dey operation of BFZ developed new techniques and
long range plans which made it impossible ta euploy non-entities of no
polition! color or conviction. The best people to produco programs in
harmony with NCFE-RPE purgoses and policies necessarily were persons
know in their own countries for tneir views on domostio political af-~
fairs and their antiqeComnunist activitios. Lardehitting propaganda
required hardehitting personalities wiose know: association with RPE
and ita programs would add validity and significance for our captive
eudiences. Gradually, therefore, the nationality desks of RFE at Kew

York and Munich wero staffed with tested, qualified axiles who had been

-4-

\
identified publicly with domastic political philosophies at iosue in
thelr own countrios. Many, in toct, most of the staff people are con=
troversial Cigures amang their own countrymen in oxactly the samo way
that prominent Americans ars controversial in our political arena. Many
indaed oro mombers of the CouretLin, but tre mon of auffielent stature
to give their primary allegiance to the non-partisan policy of RFE. The

“decisive factor is thut tinre be no controversy or quostion about thelr

anti-Communist convictions aad records.

were ote

At this point, 1¢ muet be noted that our target countries have
bean subject to repetitive political ferment prior to and following

World Wer If, as woll as the sucesssive occupations of Nazi and Communist
Armies.

The tempor of the times, therefore, in which these exiles have

lived for the past fifteen years has been one of excitement, bitterness,
recrimination, rivalries, 8nd personal turmoil -- all stemming from both
domestio and foreign struggles for power. The times have produced a
bumper crop of refugee traitors, collaborators, and opportunists and at
the same time have developed pure Westera style damocorsts, true national
patriots, and unselfis!: honest men. Tho exile who stood by placidly
through the era is not much good, howevor talented, as a militant messen-
gor of hope via RFE; exiles who were honorably active in public affairs

at home, and who had radio talont were, therefore, the only kind of

personnel suitable for RFE purposes.

As the necessity for American operational control of nationality

desks becane solf-evident, tie only feasible personnel policy was ta

employ properly qualified individuals, regardless of exile polities.

In the execution of this pollsy individuals wie ware useles8’ were
eliminated without regard for political sponsors. This process still
goes one Similarly, talented exile personalities recruited from any
sourca wore omp loyed whorover neadod. This procass still goes one

Both processes are in vogue with a healthy disregard for exile pulitical
nuances and protests, Noithor process is satisfactory to self-styled
exile leaders sinoe it follows that the appointment of an individual
sponsored by one faction as a ropresentative of its views, inevitably
will ovoke howls of rage and criticism from the opposite faction. This

is an accepted fact of exile life. We have to live with it and got on

with the job.

Summary

Our formative and development experiences evolved the present

and continuing exile personnel policies of RFZ. Exile deak employees,

whether at New York or Munich, must respond to three tasts;
(0) Security clvarance,
(b) Endorsement of technical profictency,

(c) Sufficient stature to eliminate exile partisan
interssts from program content.

CRITERIA AND METHODS OF PERSONYEL SZLECTION

Recruitment -~ General Princi ples

The best source of exile personnel is referral by “non-

professional” exiles themselves. Auong 1) nationalitios there are

-6-

14-0000

Be

many talented refugees who need employment and who can supply RFS's
neei for script writers, actors, announcers, ete. Accordingly, desk
staffing has been accomplished by examining the qualifications of duly
recomnonded individuals, whether the recomzendations come from political
personalities or othorwise. Selection is based on the ability of the
individual to fill a need efficiently in turning out or participating
in planned programs. Recruitment Ls doturmined only by ideological
security, independence of exile politics, and personal ability. This
is not to say that many individual exiles having decided personal can=
victions aud well-knom political records are not employed, but a
positive statement is made that those exile employees who now produse
RFE programs reflect the policies and guidance of RFE rather than pro-

motion of partisan objectives and personalities.

Recruitment -- Detailed Procedures

The personnel complement of each RF nationality desk is
founded on a hard core of dependable individuals, usually two or three
people, including the chief of the desk. “Dependability™ is established
by exhaustive inguiry at all available sources to establish the desir-
ability, reliability, technical proficiency and security of the working

cora of the desk. Sources usad are;

(a) Exile political personalities in the United States,

(>) Exile references of nigh standing and knom im-
partiality in the United States and Overseas,

(ce) Overseas contacts and personal knowledge of our
American representative in Europe. (Royall Tyler-Paris),

(d) Checks and balances of our political advisor at
Munich (W. E. Griffith),

\
(e) British Broadcasting Corporation, where applicable,

(f) Voice of America, whery applicable,
~ (g) Special confidential sources.

Theso tests having been applied, confidence is placed in these
initial personalities, and particularly in tha Doak Chief, to cafry
forward recruitment of additional personnel as needed in collaboration '
with the American Director of RFE (Robort E. Lang, New York ), and his
associate officials. The leading personalities of each desk know what
ia expected of them and sinca they respond to tho established oriteria,
tne resulting full personnel complement is a group of exiles who, not-
with standing their personal political views, are suitable and capable :
prograg production people. They meet our basic requirement of daily
production of truly free and properly constructed propaganda broadcasts

I cezpable of avnking the widest possible audience response in our target

countries.

In brief, the mission of RFE being conceived as a marketing
problex, the best available salesmen are procured, trained, and utilized

to sell tne market.

©. kecruitment =- Special Security Meusures ‘a

Since RFE, although a private enterprise, is by extension a
ecllateral instrument of American national policy, special precaution
is exercised to insure the ideological security of all employees, in=

cluding exiles. In the case of exile personnel specifically, the

aa

additional approval of tho Personnel Director of NCFE is required before
employment, either at New Yorx or Munich. Thus, sven if a proposed

exile employee megts all the described oriteria ho may not be employed

without this ultimate approval. c

The Personnel Director of NCFE utilizes appropriate and de-
pondable sources of information to determine the acceptabllity of
porsonnel from a seourity standpoint. His sources are investigative in
nature and are conclusive os to the ideological record and security
acceptability of tho proposed employee. In doubtful casda the Personnel i
Director consults with the Vice-President in Charge of tho National
Councils Division and with the Director of Radio Free Europe. These
three officers of NCFE Jointly follow a policy of rejecting candidates
about whom there ia the slightast doubt. It is to ba clearly understood
that in making decisions of this kind the conflicting interests and

frantic representations of palitically minded exile leaders and groups

are ignored. Acceptance or rejection of candidates is wholly based on

ideclogical security and talent value.

D. Summary

(1) All nationality desks of RFE at New York and Municn are .

staffed by individuals who hava passed all tests described AbOVI.

(2) All programs produced and aired by tho nationality desks
are checked and scrutinized by American supervisory personnel for .idsolog-

ical content, audience Acceptance and conformity to basic NCFE-RFE policies.

(3) These conditions have been progressively in force since

July, 1950,

programs and tho personnel responsible for them are controlled by a
written polioy aanual, Tho manual seta forth in minute detat) the a
position and policy of RFE on covery topic beamed to our target countries.
Tho manual is the daily guidance of all employoecs, both Anerican and
Exile, doviation from its rules ia not permitted. Continuous scrutiny

of nanuscripts and resultant broadcests is maintuinad by American em

ployoos to insure that there are no deviations.

‘Tho policy manual of RFE reprecents the considored views of
the responsible officials, including the Board of Directors, of NCFE.
It ts a atatonent of the principies end purposes of NCFE expressed in
operational form. It 43 considered and maintained as a atrictly con-

ficential document, but it is of course availablo for examination by any

proper authority.

fhe policy manual is in strict conformity with current American

national policies as evidencsd by the following quotation from article

One t t ‘

"AS 4 non-governmental radio staticn responsible to
the millions of American citizens who support it,
RFE cannct take a line centrary to United States

RFE Policy Defined by lundbook (Direct Quatstiona)

1, Tho purpose of RFK is to contribute to the liberation of
the Nations imerisoned bohind tho Iron Curtain by sustaining their
morale and stimulating in thom a spirit of non-ooopcration with the

Soviot-dominated regimes by which thoy are, for tho timo belng, ruled. i

2. The central characteriztic of RFE is that it ia the in-
strumont. of men who ure engaoyod in fighting for freedom and justice.
As such, it oncourages resistance to every tyrant, great and small, in
the countries it addresses, Its speakers speak see an man of good will
who seek to contribute to the elimination of old enmities and the

building ef an enduring European domocratic order.

3. As a freo forun in which exiles speak to their own people
RFE is particularly dedicated to arguments by which exiles seek to
persuade their listeners of the all devouring ambitions of Soviet

Imperialism, the cruelty and unworkability of Communist Institutions

ell-

and the proven advanteges of the dezocratic way of life for the worker,

the peasant, the administrator, and the business and professional

strata of society.

4. RFE tékes counsel with exile leaders and is respectful
of their views, but its policy is not designed to furthor tho aspira-

tions of any single exile leader or party.

5. HFE policy is further based upon acceptance of the prin-
ciple that oach of the liberated pecples shall be free to determine

for itself the political and social institutions under whioh Jt will

live once it has been Mberated,

6, Finally, the following summary in tho nature of a spucific

“limitation on program oontent is quoted,

"It fe indispensable that all concerned grasp clearly
that RFE is a multienational station established to
contribute to the liberation of all the peoples it
addresses, and not rerely of one of those peoples.
RFE policy is therefore commanded by the Limitation
that nothing may be said over ita fucilities to one
national audience which will destroy the confidence
in RFE of ita other audiences or whioh is likely to
induce any of its audiences to:frefer communist rule
toa liberation which might appear to promise domina=
tion by a neighboring people."

_ Mare 28, 1952

Dear Olivers

Wearing my Crusade hat at this jincture, let me fill you in as best I can on
the history and development of the Crusade operating budget. This is no mean
job, since practically all of the transacticns concerning it were verbal —
a situation I hope to correct in the future, starting now. So here goes. I
will make the special budget the subject of a separate letter.

In December, Abbott got the General's verbal ‘approval of a Crusade budget for

1952 of approximately $1,000,000 if Abbott would stay on. Sefore any progress
toward firming up this commitment had been made, difficulties arose in connection
with our position vis a vis VOA. On Janusry 17th, CD and Abbott met with everyone
concerned in the problea in Ed Barrett's office. Out of this meeting came general
agreement that the 1952 Crusade program shculd be considerably reduced in scope,
which waa duly reported to the Crusade Board the following day. Allen instructed
Abbott to draw up a proposed budget for samething under §500,000, This Abbott
did under date of Jamary 2lst and transaitted it to Allen with a letter dated

Jamuary 23rd. : .

The budget submitted, which I believe is in your hands, amounted to 288,991,
covering the eleven months from February Ist to December 3lst, 1952. (The
Crusadé had meanwhile received on January lth, on special request, funds covering

the months of December and Jamary.)

-. It was initially contemplated that the total sum of $483,991 should be transferred
to the Crusade in a lump. It then develcped that because of fiscal year problems
five-elevenths, or 222,270, would be transferred immediately.

Within a week or so from January 23rd, Abbott received telephonic approval froa
Allen of the $84,991 over-all, with $222,270 to be transferred in a lump sun.

Early in February, Crusade was advised it would be more convenient for you to
transfer just the February allotment and postpone the lizp sum rayzent until
March. On advice, we therefore made formal request for $11,154 fer February on
February 19th. This payment was received ty us on March 3rd. It is the cnly
installment we have received against the total (eleven-month) Crusade 1952 budget.
During ny trip before last, I receivec verbal reassurance tat the balance of

the five-month figure would be forthcoming. This then is to urge you to put

this in line for attention as soon as possible.

To recapitulate, this is a request specifically for $177,616, representing
$hh,L5) a month for March, April, May, and June.

Sincerely yours,

| Howaul X bbe

March-28;—1552

Dear Oliver:

This is an attempt to give you the background of our special ZASY BAYER budget.
This is the balloon project, initiated last fall after the first Winds of Freedon
one and scheduled for Christmastine. It was then know as Santa Clave or SUGAR
CHARLIE. After definite cancelation for Christmas and postpcnement to Easter,
it became known in our accounts as Zester Bunny or EASY BAKER.

In a menorandum to John Danewood, cated-Lecember 5, 1951, Abzott said: “Attached,
also, is request to cover costs of orération Santa Claus to date. Except for —
some continuing preparations in the field, this too is being xept on ice pending
further word fran you. You will recall that AWD authorized the purchase of
vehicles, etc., at our conference in his office in October. We estimated at
that time that the total project would rim approximately $175,000."

Formal request to the Foundation for the $51,500 was made Jarmary 3rd, together
with request for December and Jamiary operating expenses. All these sums were
received by Crusade January 10th.

On one of Abbott's January or February trips to your city, he received a promise

-to transfer to us the balance of the EASY PAKER budget ($123,500). I would
strongly recommend that this would be the neatest way of handling this account, VA
We naturally keep separate accounting for this budget and could give you an
accounting to date at any time on request. To make such a transfer now would

also enable you to dispose of this ouczet in your current fiecal year, in which

an allocation for it has presumably teen made.

I should perhaps set down for tke record that it cannot be guaranteed that an

EASY BAKER type operation, when anc if it should be definitely put on the schedule,
can be carried off for the original budget of $175,000. There are too many
variables. And, while the major part of the budget spent or to be spent goes

for quasi capital equipment, some of it goes or will go for expendable operation
(publicity, communications, anc the like) wich would have to ce repeated in
conrection with another balloon cperation.

Attached is a schecule of expenses ond caunitments as of March zlet azainst
the EASY BAKER budget. From this ycu will see that we have Lad to use general
-_ operating funds of about $21,000 for LASY BAKER as of that date. A rough estimate
' ‘of additional costs of- the prayer operation, which belongs to ZASY =AYES, is
$9,500. (I also attach for your irfcrmation @ mimeographed report indicating
the acceptance of the prayer operaticn among the churches.)

' ' To recapitulate, this is a request for transfer of the balance of ¢123,500 of
the EASY BAKER special budget.

Sincerely yours,

undortock to make known to the peoples behind the Iron Curtain this novoient
on the part of iAmericanc and to request their prayers for us in exchanco.
The quotations heroin which are of a corrratulatory nature to the Crusade ©
are included not out of vainglory, but beccuce they toll part of the

storys the acceptance ty the First Letate of this proposal from a lay

MEMORANDUM FORs SPC /
SULJECTs Leaflot Balloons for use in Paychological Warfare

1. On at least four occasions Mr. William Scriprs, Detroit News,
directly or indirectly has approached the Government with proposals for
utilization of balloons for psychological warfare, Following is a list
of tho dates and method of those approachess

@. 12 October 1950 - Letter from General W. J. Donovan to DCI
enclosing “Operation Ballast." ‘On 1 Novenber 1950 Wiliam H. Jackson
responded to this memorandum to the effect that this suggested opera-
tion was being referred to’ the appropriate parsons and suggesting a
subsequent meeting with Donovan to discuss this and other matters,

be In November 1950 as we were undertaking planning for develop-
ment of balloons with General Mills, we were informed that Mr. Scripps
planned a general meeting to be held in Washington to discuss balloons,
Through tho Genoral Mills Washington Representative Mr. soripps was
persuaded to keep his meeting general and was inforwed that the various
agencies of the Government had the matter under consideration and
considered that it would not be in the public interest at this time
to disclose the nature of their findings, Consequently, Mr. Scripps
forwarded us on 1 December 1950 a proposal "The Usa of Free Balloons
for Load Carrying Purposes" which we acknowledged on 11 December 1950,

e. On December 26, 1950 General Smith received a letter from
Blair Moody sumaariaing a suggestion from Mr. William Scrippa for
encouraging defection of Chinese Communist troops, A routine response
to his letter was sent 6 Jamary 1951 frem Mr. Jackson. I believe
also Mr, Moody called upon the Director in early Februsry of 1951 to
discuss use of balloons for psychological warfare. AFC addressed a
briefing memorandum to DCI on 12 February 1951, Subjs Balloons for
Carrying PW Material to Soviet Areas,

2. In Septembor 1950 the NPSB requested that Cla should represent all
interested agencies of this Government and should acooniingly take steps
to develop, procure and atockpile an appropriate number of scientifically
designed balloons for future propaganda use in conditions of international
emergency, At meetinzs of the NPSB on 13 February 1951 and 12 June 1951
it was agreed that OP€ would procure and stockpile 1,000 large leaflet
balloons for use by tho appropriate agency when and if such use vas
authorized, The Board also agreed that inquiries which the various govern-

mental agencies

Cher dca Al

~ RE TAL ~,

ala

, mental agencies might receive concerning use of balloons would be answered,

to the effoct"that the matter is under continuous study by agencies of the
Government but disclosure of results at this time would not be in the public

interest,"
3- A perusal of tho NP3B minutes since June 195] did not inticate

further consideration by that group of the subject of balloons. from this
we must infer that CIA still beara the responalbility of the commitment

made by Mr. Wienor for procurement.

4 For your information this research and devolopment has been con=
ducted for CIA by General Milla with ONR serving as the cut-out. An oxisting

' project "Skyhook" which ONR had with General Millis was accelerated to cover

development of Leeks balloons continued along with ONR's program of comic
ray research. We/obligated to ONR to deny a newspaper acceas to those
drawings, specifications, movies and reporta which bear a SECRET classification.

5. I might make one small suggestion that since Mr. Blair Moody is
now a Senator and running for re-election in the next election, 1t might be
posslble to solicite hia aid in bringing Mr. Scripps in line witb adopted
policy regarding balloons should it become necessary.

On ? March, Willien Ceripps of the Detroit Neva, called and asked for price

eotinate in lots of 100,006 of a carrier balloon syotem vhich vould carry 7
300 pounds great distances. On discussion, it appeared that ho was in- —
terested in something eyuivalent to our interin systen, oo I told him ve had
made a quotation on such a plece of ejuiprent in quantities for prices in the
rane of °35G a unit. Tia glece of @;ulpoent under the expected vind con-
dition, should carry 150 pourds 1500 miles and deliver it with the best possible

accuracy from a balloon veLicla.

I avlced bin if bo vanted specifications, but he sald he would get these later.

He wou vorking with a yroup who vould use thes to carry prepaganda, and he would
gee us in two weers, acd then vould discuss an¢ obtain exhibits. It was pointed
out to hin that this ejufpuent and polyetcy;lere were vell controlied by the
government. Tids eppeared to be no problen to hin. _

Scripps called again on 14 March, and asked 1? ve could atterd a luncheon in
Detroit Wednesday noon, the 2nd of April, and then go on to New York for a
luncheon Thursday noon. He asied that we uring along data, cost estinates,

ae this hed beer, cleared with ALLott's frierdz, and he d4dn't appear to know wht

SUBJ

I shall make a practice of brincing to your attentlon current
matters Jor discussion between Admiral Willer and me, the first of -
which took place today and covered the following Ltomss

. 1. At the su:sestion of Bob Lanc, seconded lator by NUIE's

. Chairman, Joseph Grew, Admiral !iller wants to hold at the Princeton
Inn on the Wth and llth of Hay a general discussion of United States
policy toward Iron Curtain countries, with particular emphasis upon
What now lines, if any, tadio freo Europe chould take. ‘tho background
of this, aceonting to Admiral Miller, fs thet Lany and others within

REE feel tat tho Lime is running out behind the Tron Curtain, that

the people are ready tor m:volution and that wo cannot continue much

longer the "nold everything" lince they want to yauler a croun of

experts, including liessrs. Wisner and Muller, to discuss what policy

. ; we should now adopt,

Action
'

I see no reason why wa shouldn't hava ever a ceneral bull session
and I will not atuenpt to discourage it unless instructed.

2. Admiral Miller recontly iad a talk with Frank Altschul who
comlained somewhat of his treatment at tie hands of NCIE and CIA,
saying that he iad naver even had so nucn as a wort of thanks Lor
the work no did, Miller sugzested that the O° mirht want to write
such a letter ant tual, if so, a similar letter should co to Dewitt
foole. :

Action
For the DDC to write a letter might snack a Little of thanking
himself sines he was engaged in tic Allsehtuh réesine in tue Lew Torx

° Dear Nint

A little ineldont has caused a bit of trouble and a flurry of
eatles here that I think you can correct very quickly. Spencer
Poenix's aselstant, Mr. Hiller, has written to Leon Dennen telling
Dennen that Miller has been called in by our chop and questioned in
detail about recent Dennen accounting.

hhether or not he was questioned in detail is a matter on which ~
be and I might disagree tut 1s really of mo conesquence since tho
accounting by Dennen should normally go through us to Miller, and I
think you would agree that we nad a right to aek questions, about it.
What bothers me a little, however, is Miller's writing to Dennen,
giving details of how our two offices work together. Dennen, Lt
turns out, wae annoyed ty the content of Aliler's letter, rot so
mech at Hiller as at us. His aniwyance 1s misplaced but if there
had been no mention ty Killer of detsils of our relationship there
would have been no annoyance.

. I presme you know of Pennen'a close affiliation with Leveatone
and the possibility that this mall thing will reverberate around
and around the usual vicious elrele. Can you explain to Xilver how
these little incidents can get blown up iato big iesues and ask hin
to usa a little more diseretion in tna future?

Paris, March 3, 1952

“'r

Dear Bob,

I have not done much reporting on cur Gerven
negotiations: for several reasons; first, there was not
much to report and, second, whatever thare was Dick Condon
uncertook to forward from Munich. I did vrite C.D, a
couple of letters cutlining our delaya and sone of our une
cartainties, and last week I cabled him that J would send
a nore detailed narrative when I got to Paris. As he is
now technically | no lenger President of NCFE, and a2. Admiral
Miller may not have teen completely inforaed of all thatw
are trying to do, Tax addressing this to you, with enpy to

@ach of thams,

‘nm the first place, let me say that progress
during the last half of last veok was surprisinsly speedy
and encouraging. There are stil! ‘any opportunities for
the well known "slip 'twixt the cup and the lip?, and local
Gerran political considerations coulec raar their’ ugly heads
at any woment. J think it must also be understood that, as
Dick Condon puts it, no natter now many nor how good written
agroe-ents we may ‘have covering our operstions, the whole
RFE enterprise in Ger-anywill have tu be played pretty much

by ear once the contractual agreements take effect, I rerurd
this, however, as an inescapable risk, and [ sentitn it now
only to etphagize tha parstount Impertance of the utzost care
in programming and in eccndiet to «vol.' a doror which could
upsat our entire azple-cart, The very ravarable repert ebich
your frriend Asher Lee made after his hurried Inspe-tion of
Munich underlines tn= need for regular spot check on program
output to avoid howlers, and the nee: for this once our
relationship wit! tne Ger.ens 4s ne longer through the Occu-

pation Authorities or HICOG is even core inperative,

Dick Condon s-nt you from Munich the text of the
proposed Suncespost license which ve a recd on with Dr,
Schuster on Fo: rucry 19, 1952, and this should long since
have reached yous

Our Bonn ne otfations resulted In the accentance
of this text, with two «xcept:onsys

1) Sub-clzuse 2 of article JI is cli-inated, You
will resemver trat the Bindesrost wishac to

the Interest of tha Fecura] Nepublic®, We objected to thia

on two grounisas

a) that such provision hat no logical place in
a technical License, and .

b) that 1 nade ar position far too precarious
sincs {t uxposed us to license cancelation
practically at the whim of any Gercan bureau.

crat,

and we persuaded Pre schustar ta lesve it cut of the liconse
and Yet us discuss the problem at Bonne. At Bonn, we vere
fortunately able to persuade the Foratin Office officials
that auch a provision hud no technieczl place in tho liconse,
ang tnrat whatever shoule bea seid on tne subject should be
said in an oxchanie of Tatters, or tho eculvalent, batvcon
the Yoreiiin Office and ‘ourselves, Accordingly, Article JY

. nev contains but on: clause,

2) Question was reioud by the Poreten office

officials at Bonn recarding the largeth of tho
license. Thetext Dick sent you provides for validity until
August 31, 1960, The reason J] chose that cate wes that it is
the expiration date of our lease on the olzxirchen transe
mitrer site, ani I thought t'at §f 43 arbitrary tema were to
de fixer that tying it In with the flolzkirchen lease gave it
a plausisility whieh would helo acceptance = and thet provod
to Le the case so far a3 the BSundespost was concorned,

The Foreisn Offi:e people told us, however, that
nyaterocus cuestions had been «eked in the Sundestag regarding
RPE and its programs, anc that for the Qovern-ent, to give us
a license for as long a3 eirht years would cause serious
criticism, Ye are a peculiar surt of animal, anyway, and
for our irregular activities to ce vlessed with such long
term zo;roval would, they thought, be unwise for buth their
and our zoints of view, Accordingly, they sur "sate? 2 foure

ear periods JI countered with five, datins from the date of
Jcense issuance which (since 1t cannot take place before

the contractual a, reemnantsa becore arfective, may well be late
in 1952) will give us consideratly nore tran five years life
expectancy. My own feeling Is that ir ve have not cone our
gob witnin five years, we might as well pull down the shade
and go home. In any Case, my counter propogal was, «3 } said,
accepted, anc Article JJI of the license wili now reads

A

®Tn2s license shall be valid fer a period

of five years com encing with the d«te of
its issuance ant v'11 be automatically
extenied thereafter froz year to year unless
written notice of ter ination fa given ty
one psrty to the ot'or not less then 93 days

So such for the License, tne terms of which were

favorablee . <

Our political discussions suffered fro- a variety
of frustrations, We sxrecd on the licens: terms wit!. the
Bundespost on Februsry 19th, and an azroiatscent wes made for
us to see Pre Lenz =~ the oriici.l to whom Doctor Adenauer
had referred our preblems = as noon on Thursday, February 21,
1952, Dick and I, tnereforo, t-ok an early train from
Frankfort and were set at the Bonn station by Fritz Kerpner
who told us that the arpointuent hud been caneolled as Cr,
Lenz had been called to the Chancullery on an urgent watter,
Fritz said that he hat been told that if ec weet to Dre
Lenzts office, his assistant would make a definite aprointe
nent for us later. Ve cid this, ani were received by # smocth
and non-co:-ittal incivicual, wio safd he voule not be in
touch with Dr. Lens until nine ofclock tint evening, and could
not make any celvinite dato until after he hai spoxen with
Lenze

I had the very uncomfortable feeling that we were
baing given a runearound, and Fritz was very much annoyed,

We finally got the young cKap to agree that he woul: try to
reach Lenz before evening, and that we would tel hone hin
during course of te afternoon to know what infor-ation he
had been able to obtain, We telephoned rep-atedly, but the
anawer was always the sora; "nothing to repert™. Dick and I,
therefore, took tra train beck to Fr.nafort, while Fritz
stayed in Bonn and, in tro evening, ha tule phoned thet he had
finally got sore infcr-ation- fro: Lenz! young assistant that
Lenz had turned the entire satter over to a regular Poreirn
Ofrice ofricial naced strohm, and that we were to rake arran=
genants to see Etrohm, Fritz said that he has endeavored to
dv this, but had boen told by stroha's office thet ha could
not be sure to sce us until Thursday, the 78th, although
Wednesday, tha “7th, waa « slight pesaibility,

Aenorandum Of underetanding cvetween Kr, Phenix, representing
the NCFE sna Dr. » Yerresenting tiie Federal

German Fepudlioe

KP, Phoenix sGated that the NCFE hed been founded in

‘1949 by @ group of private Auerican citizens aninated ay

the deaire to eneourzge by positive measuren the eventual
liberation from the oonsunist yokes of tha peoplss of the
enelaved countries. of Central and Eastern Europe. He
explained that with the help of endowments and pubdlie
contributions te the Cruesde for Freeflon, the Committee had
undertaken, among ite other activities, the eperasion through
Radic Pree Europe of radio broadcasting instal lations through

Woleh 10 diseeninated to listcners in the Iron Curtain

eountries prorracn sepecially prepared by: the Comit-eo for
the furtherance? of ita objectives. He pointed out thas
Radio Free Europe had constructed and was presently op=
erating srunenitrer etations at Holskirchen end Biblia, hed
ereeted a large studio and office building in Aunich and nain=
tained a lerge uonitoring estabiiehneng at Aaahteg’sohei= and
that ite prograng were prepared vith the help of lesiing

by the U.S Army and that the operations of RPE had been, and
wore being facilitated by the U.5 Arny authorities because of
RVE's status as an accredited Anerican information

agencye He observed that the NCFE wes concerned lest the
termination of the Ccoupation Statua would, in the absense
of specific agreenent with the Federal German Republie, re=
sult in hampering the work of RFE and inpairing its effect
ivenses, and that, with the approval of the Departuent of
State, negotiaticna had been carried on with the BPMin which
had resulted in agreement as to the terns of a license which
would be granted by the BPMin to NCFE insediately upon the
termination ef the Oceupation Statute. A copy of that license
is appended hereto,

Hr. Phenix called attention to the fact that this license
dealt with the technical sspeste of RYE's radio broadcast
operations and that there vere several non~teohnical matcors
widch required clarification before the RCFE would feel
juetified in undertaking the long rence program it haa under
conelderation,

Dr. staged thet the objectives «nd purposes
of NCTE, 1a the realization ef which RFE was enraged, were
abjectives and purpeses to which the Federal Governnent itself
was unalterably goanitted. The negotiations for a BrHin
lieense had been oonducted with his full knowledge and approval.
He vas woll aware that by licensing RFE's operation in femany,
fully cognisant of the objectives and purposes of thet operation,
the Federal Governzent wae on the eno hand encouraging the .
expenditure by HCFE for that eperation of large suns of aoney
eontra>buted by the Ancrican publis and om the other

was giving NCFE an. assurance that RFE's operation in Germany
would not be interfered with, bu& on the contrary would be

” faoklitated and helped by the Federal Government,

From his viewpoint there was only one reservation ha had
to makes RFE would be expeoted to refrain from using ite broade
oaet facilities on Gerven soll for the purpose of advocating
end promoting political enda whieh the Federal Covernuen} con=
eidered in conflict with ite ew basic policies, Hense, the
Vederal Covernmuent. would have the right, officially to notify
NCFE throngh the Foreign Offiae of any such conflict. Should the
German atations of HFE thereupern not refrain froa advocating
and prouoting the policies te which the Federal Oevernsent had
objected, the Federal Government would have no choice but te
require the surrender by NCPZ of its licenge and the diccontinuance
of its oroadcast operations fron Osraan territory.

Nr. Phenix stated that he understood the reasons for a

the views expreased by Dr. » accepted his reservation,

and agreed to the procedure outlined, and that to previde a
factual basta for the consideration of any question which nicht
arise in respect of RFE broadcasts the latter would keep on
file for a period of 30 days froc the date of use all tapes
recording prorrass broadcart from RPE traneultters in Germany

so that any questioned program would be available te the appre=
?riate German aut}.orities when requested by them ur. Phenix
